Dexter Farm to School

Dexter Farm to School teaches students about healthful eating, gardening, and preparing food, while connecting students to community farmers.

DFtS is part of a movement all across the country that more and more schools, cafeterias, and after school programs are finding benefits from. Farm to School, in its most broad definition, can entail anything that connects students in school with food and agriculture. This could look like students visiting a farm on a school field trip, having a farmer come visit their classroom, growing food and flowers in a school garden, or eating locally grown food in their school cafeteria.
