Welcome to the Oklahoma Farm to School website
Learn more about how the Oklahoma Farm to School program is connecting
farmers with schools to provide healthy, local food for our students.
Oklahoma MyPlate
Oklahoma MyPlate offers resources for teachers, parents, and students to guide them in making healthy food choices and to learn about the producers who raise and grow the food.
Farm to Early Care and Education Resources
Farm to early care and education (Farm to ECE) offers increased access to the same three core elements of local food sourcing, school gardens and food and agriculture education to enhance the quality of the educational experience in all types of ECE settings (e.g., preschools, child care centers, family child care homes, Head Start/Early Head Start, programs in K – 12 school districts). Farm to ECE offers benefits that parallel the goals and priorities of the early care and education community including emphasis on experiential learning opportunities, parent and community engagement and life-long health and wellness for children, families and caregivers.

Fresh, Healthy, Locally Grown Food for Good Health

It inspires farmers to sell their products to schools and encourages schools to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables as well as other healthy, local products from Oklahoma farmers.
