Farm to School

Our Farm to School initiatives bring more locally grown foods into our schools while supporting student learning and sustainability. We work to incorporate fresh, local ingredients into our menus whenever possible to support regional farms and provide nutritious meals.

Programs like school gardens and Harvest of the Month help students explore where food comes from and try seasonal produce. We also promote recycling and composting in cafeterias to reduce waste and teach environmental responsibility, along with providing teacher resources to support food and nutrition education in the classroom.
