Farm to School Pilot Program - This program puts Philadelphia at the forefront of the national farm to school movement by connecting select schools with local farmers to bring fresh local fruits and vegetables into the schools. Click on the link to learn more. http://www.farmtoschool.org/

Beginning in 2009, and entering its third full year this fall, the School District of Philadelphia will be purchasing fresh, healthy, locally grown fruits and vegetables for use in schools meals. Over the past several years, the program has grown from 5 cafeterias to 33 cafeterias, with a broad reach across the City of Philadelphia.

Food service trainings and farm tours, youth engagement, marketing, and good food messaging have been a part of this program throughout its implementation. In this past school year, over 60,000 lb of locally grown produce was served to students across the District. These local fresh fruits and vegetables were purchased by the School District of Philadelphia through Common Market, a values-driven, non-profit local aggregator and distributor of produce grown in the region.
