By participating in the Maine Harvest of the Month program, schools are pledging for the school year to:

• Serve the local HOM product at least 2x per month (local = Maine grown or caught)
• Display HOM materials provided by the Department of Education's Child Nutrition team

In addition, schools are encouraged to:

• Conduct educational activities, including taste testing or incorporating HOM into classroom curriculum. (There are many resources on the HOM Resources page)
• Send monthly updates (photos and stories, which may be featured in our newsletters, website, social media)

In return, the DOE Maine Harvest of the Month team pledges to provide participating schools with:

• Printed marketing materials (IE: posters, recipe cards, stickers)
• Program training and ongoing technical support, as needed
• A monthly newsletter
• Recognition in participating in HOM

Join the Maine Harvest of the Month (HOM) Program! Take the pledge and join dozens of childcare sites to bring healthier, local food to Maine children while supporting Maine farmers and producers!
