“Farm to school is about feeding them more than just food, it’s about feeding passions. We are working to change our menus and influencing families to make healthier choices at home too.” – Doreen Simonds, Food Services Director, Waterford School District (Ortonville, Mich.)
Next week, Congress will hear from school nutrition directors, farmers and farm to school advocates from across the country when we travel to Washington, D.C., in support of the Farm to School Act of 2015. We’ll meet with legislators from Maine to California to tell them how farm to school is an opportunity to empower more children to make healthy food choices; support more farmers, fishers and ranchers; and contribute to more vibrant communities.
Learn more about this visit and some of the great projects happening here in the Waterford School District in this post by the National Farm to School Network: We’re headed to Washington, D.C..
