FEEDING YOUNG MINDS:
Hands-on Farm to School Education Programs

?Feeding Young Minds: Hands-on Farm to School Education Programs,? is the latest publication of the Community Food Security Coalition. Focusing on educational activities that complement local purchasing for school meals, this booklet highlights farm to school experiential education programs from around the country. These range from cooking classes in New Mexico, to school fundraisers in Ohio, to kindergartners tasting watermelon radishes in Pennsylvania. Each program is unique, yet offers insights and possibilities of what can be achieved when farm-fresh products in the cafeteria are linked with experiential education activities. A resource section is also included.

To order, contact Maya or Natalie at the Community Food Security Coalition at 310-822-5410.
