Farm to School

Farm to school means that farmers sell vegetables, fruits, and other foods they grow directly to schools. Then, the schools use these foods to make lunches for kids. This helps students to eat healthy foods, which are fresh from the farm.

It also helps farmers to sell their products, which means they can make money to support their farms. In some cases, schools even have gardens where they grow their own vegetables, which can be used for their meals.

Farm to school also supports the local community because farmers sell their products to the schools nearby. As a result, students learn to appreciate local and seasonal foods, and they are more likely to make healthy choices.
