Why Farm to Preschool?
Farm to PreSchool is a critical program in that these younger children need the best food possible since their overall health and attitudes about food established at this age tend to carry on throughout their lives.
Connecting preschools with local growers for healthy, minimally-processed, fresh foods, and the stories behind that local food, augmented by school gardens and what is called “edible education,” helps children establish good relationships with food.
