Farm to School Snack
Enhance your school’s snack time with a burst of local flavor through our Farm to School Snack Program!
Each month, students get the chance to taste fresh, locally grown produce from Nova Scotia farms. From juicy ground cherries to crunchy bell peppers, crisp kohlrabi, and vibrant rainbow carrots, our program offers students a variety of fruits and vegetables to experience and enjoy. Each snack comes with an information sheet about the local farm, fun facts about the produce, and video resources for teachers.
The Farm to School Snack program is run by dedicated volunteers in each school with ongoing support from Nourish’s Farm to School Coordinator. Program funding options include utilizing existing school funds, participating in a healthy school fundraiser, applying for a Nourish startup grant, or seeking other community-based grants.
