Farm to school programs link local farmers with schools.

This simple concept holds great potential as a solution to two of the major challenges facing our society: concerns about the diet and health of children and the dwindling of small farms. By purchasing locally grown products, schools are able to serve fresher produce to students, create new markets for local farms, and incorporate exciting programs that meet state education standards. Farms gain a sense of community involvement by impacting the lives of children and becoming involved in agricultural education, while benefiting from increased sales.

F2S Fuji Apples

Organically Grown Company, participating organic Fuji apple orchards and participating retailers are together raising funds for Oregon & Washington Farm to School Programs. It is the intent of the program that the funds will promote greater access to local and organic fruits and vegetables in schools. The 3lb bags of F2S Fuji Apples are available locally at the stores listed above. More southern Oregon stores will be added. RVF2S thanks OGC, the apple growers, the retails and for their support of F2S programs.
