Healthy Communities
Ashland County CDC HOP works through strong partnerships with local organizations, community leaders, and health advocates. Together, we focus on improving access to healthy foods, creating more opportunities for physical activity, and supporting the overall well-being of Ashland County residents.
Made possible with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harvest of the Moon
Harvest of the Moon
The Harvest of the Moon was created to strengthen community connections to food. The original Harvest of the Moon began 3 years ago in the Menominee County/Nation, integrating Menominee language, the Menominee Moons, Menominee art, and Indigenous recipes.
You may be familiar with the Wisconsin Harvest of the Month, a statewide campaign that encourages kids and families to eat more fruits and vegetables. Each month schools showcase one seasonal, Wisconsin-grown fruit or vegetable. Students taste, explore and learn about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables.
