Farm to School Program

The Farm to School Program connects local farmers with schools to improve access to fresh, healthy foods for students. It involves purchasing seasonal produce, integrating locally-sourced ingredients into school meals, and incorporating educational activities about agriculture and nutrition. This initiative supports local economies, promotes sustainable farming practices, and encourages children to develop healthy eating habits by exposing them to fresh, minimally processed foods. Overall, it fosters a direct link between farms and school communities, benefiting students, farmers, and the environment.
