Farm-to-School K-12 curriculum, school food production, and the Youth Farm Project’s intensive teen Summer Program are now centralized on the 10-acre Youth Farm Project site in Danby, NY.

Hello! This is a quick list of the guidelines that we have developed for Fresh Snacks with our partner, the Ithaca City School District Nutrition Program. We would love to hear your thoughts. Email Vanessa, our Fresh Snack Program Manager at [email protected] These snack menu and ingredients guidelines have been created to assist the planning and recipe creation of Fresh Snack as it is created in the ICSD Central Kitchen, to give snack preparation volunteers and work study students a clear idea of what they will be participating in, and to give snack recipients (elementary students and their families) a clear idea of what they can expect to be served.
