The Arkansas Farm to School program is bridging the gap between local farmers and our schools. … Imagine your child biting into a crisp apple, fresh from an Arkansas orchard, or learning to grow their own vegetables right in their school garden. … Through Farm to School, students are not just eating healthier meals but are learning where their food comes from. … They're participating in cooking lessons, taking field trips to local farms, and getting hands-on education that sticks with them for life. … One parent shared, My daughter never liked vegetables until she started helping in the school garden. Now, she even asks for seconds! … This program doesn't just benefit our kids. … By supporting local farmers, we're ensuring that our money stays within the community, helping to build a stronger, more vibrant local economy. … Farm to School empowers families to make informed food choices, fostering a healthier community overall. … It's about connecting us with our roots and ensuring that everyone, especially our children, has access to fresh, healthy food. … So next time you pack your child's lunch or sit down for dinner, know that Farm to School is working hard to bring the best of Arkansas to your table. … Because healthy kids and a strong community are always in season. … Join us in supporting Farm to School – where fresh, local food makes a lasting impact. …
