Yolo Farm to Fork has released a
new video
highlighting our work in the Yolo County community.
This video shows how we are planting the seeds of healthy living. We are cultivating children’s taste for fresh healthy produce and engaging them in learning experiences that edible school gardens and farm visits offer, especially for schools serving low-income populations that are fighting childhood obesity. We currently reach more than 10,000 kids in 62 Yolo County schools with our edible school gardens, farm trips, grants, supplies, and other support.
Experiences in the garden connect to every area of their classroom curriculum – reading, writing, problem-solving, science and math. They get to see how their food choices connect to their health, their community, and their environment. At the heart of it all is one goal: To change the way kids see and enjoy healthy food!
