Farm to School — Know Your Foods

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods,  Success with Funds

This fall, our Fuel Up to Play 60 students visited a local dairy farm where we learned about dairy farming. We received a tour of the farm and got to meet some farmers and a lot of cows! The kids learned so much and asked if they could go back in the spring!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

One student received an Ad Cap grant for funds to take us on this trip. He completed the necessary online work, and then worked with our Program Advisors to come up with a plan for the field trip.
