Harvesting Good Nutrition for Our Children

We know that kids love to eat what they grow! At Yolo Farm to Fork, we want kids to learn where good food comes from, to develop a taste for healthy eating, and experience the garden as a living laboratory that inspires life-long learning and career goals.

We believe that children learn lessons that last a lifetime:

When they have the opportunity to grow their own food;
When they visit local farms, meet farmers and see how crops are grown;
When they harvest, help prepare and eat fresh, local, seasonal produce;
When they turn food into compost to replenish their gardens; and
When these experiences are woven into their everyday school lessons.

What We Do

Schools Services
Kids dig it!

Because kids love to eat what they grow, we've created new ways for schools to sustain edible gardens while connecting lifelong garden lessons to all aspects of the classroom curriculum.

Edible School Gardens

Yolo Farm to Fork creates, maintains and develops the school gardens in Woodland and West Sacramento. Students participate in seasonal garden activities enjoying hands-on workshops and cooking-related activities.

Go Visit A Farm!

We offer cost-sharing grants to Yolo County schools to support field trips to local organic farms, which address many areas of classroom curriculum. While on field trips, every student participates in harvest or farming activities.
