The Farm to School Handbook is a practical guide created to help you start, grow, or enhance your school’s Farm to School program. Whether you’re a school administrator, child nutrition professional, teacher, cafeteria staff member, or local food producer, this handbook offers tools, ideas, and resources tailored to your role in supporting a healthier, more connected community. Farm to School is not a one-size-fits-all program; each school’s journey will look a little different depending on its goals, partnerships, and capacity. This guide is here to help you find what works best for your school or early care center.
This handbook will walk you through the benefits of Farm to School, provide ideas for getting involved (or expanding your efforts), and introduce supportive resources. The Oklahoma Farm to School Program is here to support your efforts every step of the way. Whether you’re just planting seeds or expanding a thriving program, we’re committed to helping you build a Farm to School initiative that is impactful, sustainable, and uniquely yours.
Together, we’re cultivating healthier children, stronger communities, and a more resilient local food system—one meal, lesson, and connection at a time.
