Northshore students will see more farm
fresh fruits and vegetables this year. This year we have
partnered with Catalano Produce to expand our Farm to School
program.
We have identified 17 Wisconsin Grown
Fruits and Vegetables that will be sourced through local farms
and delivered to each school during their growing season.
Students will be able to identify the name of the farm and learn
where it is coming from.
Taher recognizes that students need to eat
healthier, and believe a balanced meal is one of the best ways
to make that happen. You still will see the foods that kids
love on our menus, like Chicken Nuggets and Pizza, but we also
encourage them to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables
to complete their meal. Each day they have three vegetables and
two Fruits to choose from on the Fruit and Vegetable Bar, and
when we can offer foods so fresh and inviting as the Farm to
School program provides, it makes it easier convince them to try
new things. It also helps out our local farmers which we are
proud to do.
