Locally grown food on menu at Cheshire High  "Local menu features local cuisine"  http://www.cheshirecitizen.com/news/allnews/2523605-129/local-school-menus-feature-local-cuisine.html Students agreed, though some who were interviewed said they didn’t know their meals were coming from local sources despite the school system’s effort to promote the initiative. They were aware of the taste, however. “I didn’t even know there was such a week here,” said junior Will Griffin, who had the fresh salad, pasta primavera and chicken. “It was good. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I buy my lunch.”  http://das.ct.gov/images/1090/CTKidsGrownKidsweek.pdf   USDA Recipes for Healthy Kids Contest: We are excited to announce that Cheshire Food and Nutrition Services had three Teams develop kid friendly recipes while participating in the USDA Recipes for Healthy Kids Contest.
