Healthy Orange 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: Taking a three‐pronged approach, Healthy Orange will work to connect schools with local farmers by assisting in streamlining the bidding and procurement process, as well as creating a committee to expand and strengthen community partnerships; increase the skills and knowledge of school food service personnel through hands‐on trainings; and create an integrated approach that includes educational and promotional activities, including agriculture and nutrition based education programs.
