UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program - Farm to School and Community

Our Farm to School and Community (F2SC) program makes Florida-grown foods more accessible to SNAP-eligible people in Florida. The F2SC team approaches Farm to School holistically by partnering with a variety of stakeholders throughout the food system. We work with local partners — schools, farmers, businesses, farmers markets, food service professionals, non-profit organizations — and state and federal agencies to improve the health of Florida citizens, while benefiting farmers and the local economy.

Some of our projects include:

Club Rotario Bahía de Jaltemba - La Peñita

Rotary Club Bahia de Jaltemba - La Peñita received certification from Rotary International in March 2009. Since then, the club has focused a major part of its efforts in education. The club has built three kindergartens that were then incorporated into the public school system, repaired or improved over 9 kindergartens and grammar schools, created a computer lab for the local vocational high school and remodeled two high schools.
