Follow the Food at BVSD: From the local farm to your child’s plate

You’re probably aware that the Boulder Valley School District  provides nutritious, scratch-cooked meals for our students, and supports many local food vendors.

Or more importantly, who gets it there? This month, we’re honoring the folks who work hard to ensure that BVSD students have good food to help them grow and thrive. We’ll follow a local ingredient from the farm all the way to your child’s plate, and talk about what happens along the way.
