Ohio Farm to School

Farm to school invests in healthy young people, healthy communities, and healthy economies. Visit http://farmtoschool.osu.edu for more information.

Ohio's Farm to School program provides youth, pre-K through college, with access to nutritious meals, while supporting local farmers and communities. This program provides children with fresh, local food, and helps them understand where their food comes from and how food choices affect their health, environment and community. The Ohio Farm to School program is part of the National Farm to School network and involves many local, state and regional partners, advisors and projects.
