Ohio Farm to School is a statewide initiative that aims to connect schools and early care and education sites with local food producers. Through their programs and resources, they promote the procurement of local foods, the establishment of school gardens, and education activities related to agriculture, food, health, and nutrition. By enriching the connection between communities and fresh, healthy food, Ohio Farm to School empowers children and their families to make informed food choices while contributing to vibrant communities and strengthening the local economy.
With a focus on providing all kids access to nutritious, high-quality, local food, Ohio Farm to School activities enhance classroom education through hands-on learning experiences, such as school gardens, cooking lessons, and farm field trips. Their monthly newsletter shares stories from schools and students across the state, highlighting Farm to School initiatives and offering learning opportunities for educators and food service professionals. By promoting the importance of local food and supporting the collaboration between schools, organizations, and state agencies, Ohio Farm to School is making a positive impact on the health and well-being of Ohio's students.
