FARM-TO-SCHOOL NETWORK
We prioritize local sourcing through our comprehensive Farm-to-School network, establishing direct relationships with local farms and cooperatives to purchase fresh ingredients straight from the growers. In particular, we are dedicated to supporting those smaller rural communities, ensuring that our efforts reach and benefit those who are often underserved. At Fresh Picks Café, we feel that it’s important to support local farms, and to serve their K-12 community the same wonderful items they produce. It can’t get any fresher than that!
