October is Farm
to School Month
By Elisha Smith,
elishas@cfra.org, Center
for Rural Affairs
October is National
Farm to School month
(#F2SMonth). "Farm to
School" refers to schools
serving local, farm-fresh
foods ranging from fruits
and veggies to honey and
meat.
The more local foods
we serve our kids, the bet-
ter. One-third of U.S. chil-
dren are obese or over-
weight, and only 2% of
children get the recom-
mended serving of fruits
and vegetable each day.
Farm to School programs
increase students' daily
fruit and vegetable con-
sumption significantly.
Moreover, each dolfa
invested into Farm to
School stimulates an addi-
tional $2.16 of local eco-
nomic activity. In Maine,
shifting 1% of consumer
expenditures to direct pur-
chasing of local products
was shown to increase in-
comes of Maine farmers by
as ,much as 5%. And each
new Farm to School job
contributes to the creation
of addition 1.67 jobs,
Often schools incorpo-
rate curriculums that help
students learn about nutri-
tion, agriculture, science,
math and the path that
food takes from the farm
to the table as well as cre-
ating experience-based
learning opportunities by
visiting farms and partici-
pating in gardening, recy-
cling, and entrepreneurial
programs.
The Farm to School con-
cept is simple: bring tasty,
nutritious food from the
people who grow it to the
school kids that want to eat
it. The details involved in
making this a reality can be
daunting, however. With
that in mind the Center for
Rural Affairs has put to-
gether a Farm to School
Month Starter Kit, guide
and several other re-
sources to help wade
through all the complexi-
ties. Visit: http://www
