The School Food Project Boulder Valley School District is dedicated to improving the health of each student by providing healthy food to grow young bodies and minds.

Founded August 2008. At the School Food Project, we believe that for kids to learn, think and be the best they can be, they have to eat well. Because of this, we are dedicated to improving the health of each student by providing healthy food and offering nutrition education programs to grow young bodies and minds. Our Food

We serve fresh and nutritious food every day. This amounts to over 12,000 scratch-cooked meals each day! We use locally sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible, and we avoid highly processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, chemicals, dyes and food additives. Salad Bars are offered daily at every school and are stocked with fresh, delicious and when possible, local farm fresh produce. Our Programs

Our interactive food and nutrition education programs make eating healthy food fun for students of all ages. Through our programs, BVSD kids learn where food comes from, what fresh food tastes like, and even how to grow and cook their own food. Sustainability

We are continuously improving our sustainability efforts through innovative and award winning solutions, such as reusable bins for local deliveries, recycling beef cooking oil for biofuel for local farm tractors and composting vegetable scraps to feed locally farmed pigs.

This National School Lunch Week, Chef Ann Foundation is highlighting five districts as Renegades for their exceptional contributions to school food nationwide.

One thing about us, we truly 💚💚💚 hosting field trips here at the Boulder Valley School District Culinary Center! Today we got to give a tour to BCSIS students, and they also helped us feed the worms at the greenhouse 🪱 We still have slots open for more groups to come visit.
