About the Program: 

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: The “Food for Navajo Schools Project” will create a comprehensive farm to school implementation plan to provide a culturally relevant model for the 224 schools in the Navajo Nation. This plan will identify local or regional product availability and take steps required to integrate local and regional products, including produce from school gardens, into school meals.
