Why Farm to Kids Matters in the Classroom
Farm to School helps K–12 students learn where their food comes from and gives them more access to fresh, local foods at school. It connects classrooms, school meals, and local farms so students can build healthy eating habits and better understand food and agriculture in a hands-on way.
