Statewide Farm to School evaluation report released.

Guest post from Amanda Knitter, who is coordinating the ARRA state Farm to School grant:

Check out the new WI Farm to School Evaluation Report. Kids who participate in Farm to School eat 20% more fruits and vegetables. This is a huge improvement considering the research study also found that 25% of students’ lunch trays did not have any fruits or veggies on them at all.
