Garden Based Learning, Texas Farm Fresh Challenge & Local Wellness Policy




The Texas Department of Agriculture created Farm Fresh initiative to connect Texans all across the Lone Star State to agriculture and local farmers and ranchers. The goal is to increase community collaborations, promote healthy lifestyles and improve the Texas economy. Garden-based learning also connects kids back to Texas agriculture and introduces them to new foods. Research has shown that when children are involved in the planting and growing process they are more willing to taste these foods. Join us for a fun filled afternoon exploring local foods and gardening! This training is designed for Child Nutrition Staff. Every local education agency (LEA) participating in the National School Lunch Program and/or the School Breakfast Program are required to develop, implement, and assess a local wellness policy (LWP).
