Each month, students have the opportunity to try, like, and love recipes featuring local, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
RVF2S partners with schools in Jackson & Josephine counties to bring monthly Tasting Tables to cafeterias throughout the school year. Students sample local, seasonal fruits and vegetables in their cafeterias, then vote on what they thought about the new foods. RVF2S staff share the results with school food services to help inform future lunch menu items! Each student receives the recipes to take home and share with their families.
If you are interested in bringing this program to your school, or viewing samples of our in-depth educational resources, please visit our Farm to School Experiences page for more information.
Try out our kid-approved Tasting Table recipes at home!
