More than 30 million children eat school food five days a week, 180 days a year. Though the nutrition value does not meet the standards we expect. If school food can improve the health of kids, develop new marketing opportunities for farmers, and support the local economy, it’s a win-win for everyone Source: One Tray, One Nation

FARM TO SCHOOL AND SCHOOL GARDEN OREGON HB HEALTHY FOODS FOR HEALTHY STUDENTS OREGON HB 2650  Establish a farm-to-school program and school garden program,  Sets nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold outside of the federal meals program in schools.  Provides Oregon grown foods into school meal programs  Creates a garden based curriculum  Increases exposure to nutritional foods creating life long eating habits  Current voluntary agreements made by the food and beverage industries put the burden on school districts to negotiate for healthier options  Includes clear uniform standards so that all of Oregon’s kids have nutritious choices.  Nutrition standards address calories, portion size and the amount of fat and sugar allowed in foods and beverages Source: Stacey S. Williams and Michelle M. Ratcliffe, Ecotrust Farm to School Program A Working History of Farm to School Legislation in Oregon Summer 2010

If the House Bills pass that will assist in bringing awareness to the lack of a nutritional standard being mandated in Oregon schools. Working in conjunction with local farms and advocacy groups will help increase public involvement with this important issue.

Farm Educators Help educate youth about sustainable farming and environmental stewardship through farm field trips. Volunteers attend a one day training. For more information about this position contact Education Director at Zenger Farms and please fill out the Field Trip ApplicationField Trip Application www. zengerfarm.org

 Fun game for kids to learn about their food!  Introducing Zenger Farm  What is Farm to School?

 What kind of background check must be done for volunteers before they can work around kids? A questionnaire will be provided a minimum of ten days before the project and returned within seven days so our local law enforcement can provide a basic criminal history.  Will I be made to provide transportation? No, all children and volunteers will meet at the participating school and be bussed to the farm.  Who can I contact in the local government agencies about similar programs? Cory Schreiber in the Department of Agriculture and Joan Ottinger in the Department of Education are charged with connecting farmers with school cafeterias.
