Ben Hill County Nutrition Department is happy to announce we have became a recipient of the USDA Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Program. For the last two weeks students have been given the option of fresh Georgia Grown peaches, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, and yellow squash. We are looking forward to seeing what other GA grown items we can have available to our students during the changing seasons.
