Food Roots Farm to School Program
by Food Roots

We believe all children in our community have the right to sustainability education for a healthy future. Our Farm to School program champions this belief through farm and garden-based education; farmer, food producer, and local food systems professional visits to classrooms; local farm field trips; and local food tastings. These activities promote healthy habits, support academic, social, and behavioral development in students, leverage and beautify school gardens, and build relationships between families and local food producers.
