School Cafeterias

Sierra Harvest is an organization dedicated to educating, inspiring, and connecting western Nevada County’s families to fresh, local, seasonal foods. Our farm to school program is in 19 schools serving over 6,000 students! The program includes a local produce stand at each school, a “Harvest of the Month” program, farm field trips, school garden consultations, and guest appearances by farmers, nutrition educators, and chefs. We also have an educational farm called the Food Love Project which provides field trips, serivce projects, and Upicks.

The initiative also includes educational components for students and their parents

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: The proposed project will span two years and will focus on the Indiana Farm to School Network, the Hoosier Harvest Market, Greenfield‐Central Community Schools, and the 38 other school corporations in Hancock and surrounding counties.

At IDEA Public Schools, our goal is to get 100% of our students on the road to and through college. Our rigorous academics and “whatever it takes” mindset, have helped us make tremendous strides in this work. But we recognized that the roots of academic success for our students run far deeper than classroom learning alone. In order for our students to get to and through college, and beyond, they also need a foundation of skills necessary to maintain their health. So, in 2014 we launched our Healthy Kids Here Initiative to become the Healthiest School District in America.
