Farm To School

Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care and education settings.

The National Farm to School Network is an information, advocacy and networking hub for communities working to bring local food sourcing and food and agriculture education into school systems and early care and education environments.

Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care and education settings. Students gain access to healthy, local foods as well as education opportunities such as school gardens, cooking lessons and farm field trips. Farm to school empowers children and their families to make informed food choices while strengthening the local economy and contributing to vibrant communities.

Richland County Farm to School will be incorporating Harvest of the Month  into the School Lunch Program. In addition, signage and information about the Harvest of the Month item will continue to be posted at local grocery stores. This incorporation of grocery stores into the campaign will continue to connect what students are learning and eating at school into family meals.
