Boulder Valley School District Farm to School Program

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: Boulder Valley School District will undertake an intensive marketing and education program aimed at a 20% increase in consumption of locally‐sourced natural foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, in our school meals. We aim to increase local purchasing to 46% of the annual food service budget. In order to achieve this within a sustainable model, we must increase the total number of children eating the school lunch menu regularly, and improve student acceptance and consumption of locally sourced foods as part of these meals.
