Editing Farm to School

'''Farm to School''' is a nation-wide movement that bridges the gap between local farms and schools.  The program is designed to unite the community, cafeteria, and classroom by increasing access to local food and providing nutrition education to improve children's health, strengthen farms, and cultivate vibrant communities.
