Today’s School Lunch
Most parents want their children to enjoy their meals, but are rightfully concerned about potential pesticides, chemicals and hormones in the food supply. They want steps taken to ensure their children’s meals are safe and nutritious. Children’s palettes should develop consuming fresh, whole, minimally processed foods with the goal of building lifelong healthy eating habits.
Most parents would also like their children to understand their relationship to nature and the environment. Everyone is a “steward” of resources and shares responsibility for our food, water, air, soil, energy, wildlife, and local community. Our program embraces these values.
Local Purveyors
We source local ingredients when possible, preferably within a 90 mile radius of San Francisco.
Sourcing local has many benefits:
- Often leads to fresher, better tasting, higher nutritional value foods
- Improves food safety by reducing the number of steps from the source to the table
- Connects local purveyors more directly to consumers
- Promotes sustainable agriculture and the preservation of local green spaces and farmlands
- Reduces transportation pollution and fuel costs
- Supports small family businesses and their local (often rural) economies
