In Kansas, Farm to Plate encompasses all Child Nutrition Programs. Not only can local foods cover the plate; they can be offered throughout the year in any Child Nutrition Program. The Farm to Plate initiative is an effort to connect Child Nutrition Program Sponsors with regional or local farms in order to serve healthy meals using local foods.
This year, USD 294 Oberlin has been able to take advantage of funds provided by KSDE in an effort to provide local beef to our kids. This month we will be using that beef, provided by MAY FAMILY FARMS, on Oct 23 for the Beef Nachos, and again on Oct. 31 for Hamburgers!
Thank you KSDE and May Family Farms!
