Arkansas Farm to School Class

Arkansas Farm to School is traveling around the state to the education cooperatives to share a new resource, the Arkansas Farm to School Toolkit. If you’d like to learn how to build or grow a farm to school program, you are invited to attend. This class is open to school nurses, nutritionists, cooks, principals, and other educators.

Starting in June there will be free workshops that include lunch, the new Arkansas Farm to School Toolkit, and 6 professional development hours for certified and nutrition staff. This class will be held at the DeQueen Mena Education Service Cooperative on July 15th. For more information, visit the Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives website.

Farm to school practices enrich the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local farmers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and preschools.
