Truro Farmer Raises Chickens for Childhood Elementary School

Elspeth Hay

Twenty years ago, Drew Locke was a student at Truro Central School. Now all grown up, he runs a poultry farm that feeds the current students a chicken lunch every Thursday. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with Truro Central cafeteria manager Warren Falkenburg about the school's new Farm to School initiative. He tells her about the challenges and rewards of getting local food on the table. You can read more on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore.
