Farm To School
October is Farm to School Month! Join in on the fun!
What is Farm to School?
Farm to school empowers children and their families to make informed food choices while strengthening the local economy and contributing to vibrant communities.
Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and education sites.
Core Elements of Farm to School
Procurement
Local foods are purchased, promoted and served in the cafeteria or as a snack or taste-test.
