According to Vermont FEED (Food Education Every Day), farm-to-school programs bring healthy food to children nationwide.
Most Farm to School (FTS) programs aim to serve healthy meals in cafeterias, improve student nutrition, and provide food-, farm-, and nutrition-education opportunities.
Farm-to-school programs help show children where their food comes from and how food choices impact their bodies, the environment, and their communities at large.
The Farm to School committee at Flood Brook School in Londonderry has been working to develop a sustainable farm-to-school program. Members of the faculty, administration, and staff have been learning about opportunities to integrate community, classroom, and cafeteria - the three Cs of farm-to-school programming - into the K-8 curriculum at Flood Brook.
