Overview

School Nutrition Programs | Program Guidance | Forms | Resources | Nutrition Education

The Farm-to-School Program involves a variety of school experiences and programs about gardening, educating children about nutrition, and purchasing fresh, locally grown farm products. Farm-to-School connects schools (K-12) and local farms with the objectives of:

serving healthy meals in school cafeterias;
improving student nutrition;
providing agriculture, health, and nutrition education opportunities; and
supporting local and regional farmers.

The Connecticut Department of Agriculture works with state agencies such as the Connecticut Department of Education to implement Connecticut’s Farm-to-School Program.
