Seven of our schools receive grant funding for this unique program that serves and promotes FREE fresh fruits and vegetables to our students. The program has been successful in introducing elementary school children to a variety of produce that they otherwise might not have the opportunity to sample.
The Goal of the FFVP
Brought to you by Willamette Farm & Food Coalition’s Farm to School Program and funded by the ODE Farm-to-School grant. Every month, 4J school menus highlight items from Lane County farms as the “Harvest of the Month.” Highlighted produce selections have included tomatoes, raspberries, and strawberries from Thistledown Farm, strawberries from Hentze and Johnson’s Farm, and Braeburn apples from Detering Orchards.
