Educators and other K-12 school staff are invited to Fire UP about Farm to School! Discover lessons from Copper Shores' Farm to School pilot program, explore future plans and take part in engaging sessions on funding, hydroponics, food safety and more.
Copper Shores Community Health Foundation is committed to bringing fresh, nutritious and local food back to the table in our community schools.
We define Farm to School as Food Education, and over the coming years we’ll be inspiring our community schools to take the steps needed to bring food education back to our community’s youth.
Education
It all begins with knowledge. Knowing how to grow. Knowing how to cook. For this to work, we need to start young.
School Gardens
We’re looking to breathe new life into school gardens of all types throughout the Copper Country.
Procurement
Working with food service departments, we’ll find ways to bring more local and healthful foods to school meals.
Pilot Program to build a lasting legacy
This initiative aims to incorporate a comprehensive curriculum that brings Farm to School into everyday learning, enriching students' educational experiences and fostering a deeper connection with their food sources.
Join Copper Shores on the journey
Follow along by subscribing to the quarterly Food Initiative email newsletter. Updates are always consistent and relevant. You’ll love being part of the journey. More importantly, we need you. Without community involvement, we’ll accomplish nothing.
