½ûÂþÌìÌà Nutrition Services Farm to School Program
Nutrition Services started their Farm to School program in the 2006-2007 school year. The department started with focusing on fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, asparagus, and squash grown in Oregon. Since then the department expanded to purchasing locally grown and made foods throughout Oregon and the northwest region including items like 3 bean chili, yakisoba noodles, tamales, pizza, beans, hummus, beef, rockfish and more. Annually contributing over $2.2 million into the local economy and making up at least 32% of total purchases, the department has continued this value throughout the years, regularly receiving state Farm to School funding to further expand these efforts. This allows the department to focus on not only supporting the local economy, but also ensuring that many of its foods and supplies are traveling short distances, and decreasing the impact on the climate.
