Farm to School Program

Farm to School Program

The California Farm to School Program connects schools with local farms to provide fresh, locally grown foods in school meals while supporting California agriculture. It also promotes hands-on learning through school gardens, nutrition education, and agricultural experiences that teach students where their food comes from.
