What is a Farm to School Program

Farm Fresh Initiative

  • The farm fresh initiative started in order to connect K-12 schools with healthy foods that are all locally grown. These programs are starting up and being used around the United States. Each community has their own activites and lessons set up to supplement the programs.

Goals of Progams

  • To meet the diverse needs of school nutrition programs in an efficient manner
  • To support regional and local farmers and thereby strengthen local food systems
  • To provide support for health and nutrition education

In Review

  • Farm to School is a comprehensive program that extends beyond farm fresh salad bars and local foods in the cafeteria. Some other programs include waste management programs like composting, and experiential education opportunities such as planting school gardens, cooking demonstrations and farm tours.
