The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is encouraging schools and other institutions to register for the third annual Wisconsin Chili Lunch.
Over 200 sites across Wisconsin have already registered, including 43 K-12 schools. These sites will serve a chili lunch with ingredients sourced from local farms on Thursday, February 25th.
In addition to produce, WCL asks participants to utilize local beans, grains, meats, and dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and sour cream.
Schools can use the official WCL chili recipe or their own favorite recipe.
To register for the lunch, view recipes, and find help with sourcing ingredients, visit the University of Wisconsin Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (CIAS) online at www.cias.wisc.edu/chililunch/.
