Farm to School Program
Ensuring the next generation of Louisianans knows where their food comes from, BREADA coordinates youth programming at its farmer's markets, as well as a Farm to School program currently taking place in six Baton Rouge area public schools. The Farm to School program brings a live farmers market experience to each campus as well as cooking demos that show kids how to transform fresh produce into new dishes.
Testimonial:
"The classes helped to change my mind about certain foods, like shiitake mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. They're not gross-they're delicious. I think I wanted to try these things at school rather than at home because I saw where the vegetables came from and got to chop them up."
Felix, 3rd Grader at WHAM
