Farm Fresh Rhode Island

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: With funding from the USDA Farm to School Program, Farm Fresh Rhode Island’s Farm to School Project will pilot the use of fresh‐frozen local produce in public school districts. The farm to school project will enact this pilot in partnership with the Central Falls, Newport and Providence School Districts, in collaboration with the Rhode Island Training School, where the blast freezing program will be located. This farm to school value chain will be supported by educational activities including classroom, cafeteria and farm‐based programs, that relate to the local farms and products.
