Farm to School, School to Home: An Evaluation of a Farm to School Program at an Urban Core Head Start Preschool Program

The objective was to evaluate the nutrient content of farm-to-school (FTS) lunches compared to lunches provided by the Head Start (HS) school. Direct observations of lunch were performed on randomly selected students (n = 85) for 22 weeks to determine dietary intake. The nutrient composition of FTS lunches was compared to conventional HS lunches. FTS lunches were significantly lower in percentage calories from fat and refined grain servings. Total fiber, calcium intake, and whole grain servings were greater in FTS lunches. Overall, the FTS program can influence the eating behavior of preschoolers during a critical time when dietary preferences are formed.
