Farm to School

Purpose
The purpose of the Farm to School project is to ensure that our Pre-K through College students consume the highest quality, sustainably produced, culturally appropriate foods from local farms and ranches.

Scope
Farm to School has been the main focus of the Food, Agriculture, and Farm to School Committee of SASCO. A multi-faceted, inclusive process is envisioned — one that works toward the highest possible nutritional offerings in our schools and that supports local agriculture and food. Farm to School activities include:

• Getting local food into schools single products as a pilot program, as special event local meals, or as an ongoing part of the menu.
• Ensuring nutritious food whatever the source in school meals, special events, and vending machines.
• Food and ag education nutrition education in the classroom, cooking demos, farm trips, school gardens, etc.
