Fresh Produce for YOUR SCHOOL Cafeterias

Investing in fresh local produce strengthens school meals and community ties. It's time to challenge the status quo of imported food.
THE PROBLEM

THE SYSTEM IS
BROKEN

School cafeterias are trapped in a cycle of imported, processed food. It's time to break free.

Too much imported food

A staggering percentage of the food served in school cafeterias is imported — disconnecting students from the land that surrounds them.

limited domestic options

Finding reliable local suppliers shouldn't be this hard. Schools are frustrated by a system that favors distant distributors over nearby farms.

Schools deserve better

Every student deserves fresh, nutritious meals. Every community deserves a cafeteria that supports its local economy.
