Fremont Farm to School

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: Fremont City Schools seeks a Farm to School Planning Grant benefiting 4,236 students in Sandusky County, Ohio, where more than 60% of students are eligible for free and reduced lunch and 14% are obese. While Fremont City Schools has undertaken some related activities to date, no specific farm to school activities have been undertaken. The farm to school grant would further the health and wellness efforts laid out in the school district’s strategic plan, and expand initiatives to all nine schools in the district, therefore embedding farm to school activities into school culture and keeping them front and center in the broader community.
