South Dakota Crunch Off

The South Dakota Crunch Off is an annual statewide event celebrating local produce and farm to school by crunching into any South Dakota-grown fruit or vegetable. Anyone can participate. Simply create a crunch team, source locally grown fruits or vegetables, crunch into them with your team, and post a photo or video crunching to social media with #SoDakCrunch. Register your teams’ crunches (either before or after your event) to count towards the South Dakota total.

The South Dakota Crunch Off will run September 18-October 13th. This fun, annual event promotes nutrition education and healthy eating while supporting local agriculture.

Organize your group (such as a community group, club, or friends and family), source local produce (such as from a community garden, personal garden, or farmers market), and bite into the local fruit or vegetable together for a photo.

Register your crunches, download supplemental materials (trivia, crunch crown craft, bingo, word search, crosswords, lesson plans, and a photo sign), and learn more on SDSU Extension’s S.D. Crunch Off page.
