Local Beef 2024

The Groton Area School District is thrilled to announce that we've received our first donation of beef for the 2024-2025 school year! Thanks to the generosity of a local, anonymous producer, we have 500 pounds of fresh, locally raised and harvested ground beef to serve our students in the school lunch program.

This producer worked directly with the Meathouse in Andover to make sure we started the year off right.

If you are interested in donating to the Groton Area School District Local Beef program, please contact Joe Schwan at 605-397-2351 or Joe.Schwan@k12.sd.us.

Monetary donations to this program could be used to off-set processing fees or to purchase an animal for processing.

A heartfelt and hearty THANK YOU to this anonymous donor and to those who made donations during the 2023-2024 school year to get this program started.
