Read the full story from the Center for Ecoliteracy. Note that some of the resources are California-specific, although there is more general information that is useful for all locations.
The state of California grows the most fruits and vegetables in the country, and many of our state’s public school students come from families who contribute to the agricultural economy. Connecting our youth to local agriculture creates opportunities for nutrition education and community building. Through our Fresh from California campaign, the Center for Ecoliteracy facilitated 11 farmer visits to public schools in California in 2022. We learned a lot from our school and farmer partners. This guide was developed to share those insights and help schools plan and host successful visits from local fruit and vegetable farmers.
