Farm to School

EUSD began their farm to school program in 2013.

Farm Lab supplies fresh, organic produce for daily salad bars and scratch made lunch items at all nine school sites.  

We grow paste tomatoes and herbs that are featured in the central kitchen's scratch made pizza and pasta sauces, and our freshly harvested lettuce, carrots and other seasonal veggies appear on our salad bars year round. Roasted broccoli? Sweet corn? Farm Lab provides the produce for several delicious side dishes, too!

EUSD's nationally recognized farm to school program earned an innovation award from the Center for Ecoliteracy in 2019, and was highlighted in a webinar on transforming food systems hosted by the Green Schools National Network in 2020.
