Schools

Farm to school programs come about because of the work of a lot of people, especially those who work directly in and with the school to organize the program and team, secure resources, get buy-in, organize students, and navigate challenges. These champions can include educators, the school principal, parent volunteers, a local food provider, or a public health nurse or dietitian. 
We know that these efforts take a lot of work! Here are some ideas to help you move your program forward.
If you’re looking to bring food literacy, local food or other parts of the farm to school approach to your school, here are a few first steps you can take:
