Serving local farm foods to school kids is something just about everyone embraces. It provides a potentially huge new market for farms and gives students a taste of the delicious fare grown in fields and orchards all around them. To grow, however, hundreds of farm-to-school programs in the country need help with major logistical challenges, such as preparing more food from scratch after years of heat-and-serve. One potential source of help is a pool of competitive grants recently included in Congress reauthorization of the federal Child Nutrition Act.
