South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools Join Farm to School Program

Posted Wednesday, October 6, 2010

Featured on Episode 4 of the 2010-2011 season

The kids in the South Euclid-Lyndhurst school district are eating fresher these days, thanks to their new "Farm to School" program. They celebrated with a special lunch at Greenview Upper Elementary last week. More than two thousand schools in the U.S. participate. They are partnered with Red Basket Farm, a small family-owned farm in Kinsman, Ohio. Students will now eat lettuce that has traveled fifty nine miles, rather than the twenty six hundred miles it currently travels.
