Food Check-Out Week
Food Check-Out Week is devoted to helping teach Americans how to stretch their food dollars with healthy, nutritious food. Various statewide events are held the third week of February each year. Farm Bureau is helping consumers find solutions to eating healthy on a stretched budget.
Women's Leadership Committee delivered Arizona-grown apple pies from Apple Annie's in Willcox to each Arizona State Legislators' office during the 2011 Food Check-out week.
NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace was on hand to help deliver the pies and tell Legislators that Arizona Farm Bureau's Food Check-Out Week helps Arizona families learn how to stretch their grocery dollars with healthy, nutritious food.
