Farm-2-Table is a continuation of Community Bridges program centered on first grade students. Each month, approximately 220 students from Williams & Riddle Elementary Schools participate in Farm-2-Table where they learn about a farming or agricultural community.

Upon arrival at the Fit-2-Serve facility, students are led through a truly unique classroom experience as they learn & gain an appreciation for all the people we never meet who provide all the food we eat!

Each month, an agricultural community is featured for students learn about the work of a farmer & the produce or product realized from that community. In the Teaching Kitchen next door, students follow & make a recipe that centers on the food product from that community. In addition, students don their 'try-it shoes’ & sample foods grown by the farmer.

Students are introduced to the word, ingredients . . . a big 11-letter word for a 1st grader. First, students measure & add ingredients when following a recipe while in the Teaching Kitchen. Second, they are challenged to find the word on packages of foods commonly found in the home. Mid-year they learn the words nutrition & nutrients. By the end of the school year, students understand the importance of knowing the ingredients list & are able to make healthier food & drink choices.

Researchers have shown that encouraging kids to get involved in meal preparation is an effective health promotion strategy for schools and parents.
