Farm to School items were added to the School Wellness Checklist this year to support the efforts of the Farm to School program. We're really excited to offer these points:
- Cafeteria provides and promotes 2 locally grown fruits and/or vegetables per month (5 points)
- School Garden - using the garden as a classroom to teach about nutrition (3 points)
There are tons of resources, including FREE teaching materials on the Farm to School website!
We want to let you all know that we will need to see example menus if you claim the points for serving locally grown produce in the cafeteria. Please share this with your cafeteria managers! The food production record from that week with the item(s) circled works well.
We are more than happy to help with the verification for this item!!
Schools have nothing but great things to say about partnerships with local farms, so have some fun with it!
