Wisconsin Homegrown Lunch

A joint project of the non-profit REAP Food Group and the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (CIAS), Wisconsin Homegrown Lunch (WHL) is a farm-to-school program that seeks to introduce locally and sustainably grown foods to schoolchildren through their lunchrooms and classrooms.  With the twin goals of increasing young people’s access to and acceptance of fresh foods and creating additional markets for local producers, WHL works with school food services to help identify where they can purchase local foods and works with educators to help integrate food education into their classroom curriculum.  Initially focused in the Madison school district, WHL is now providing resources to school districts across the state interested in starting farm-to-school projects.
