Subject: Use of Organic Foods in School Food Service
Hello,
As part of a District menu planning committee, I'm looking for any
information you can share regarding schools that use organic produce,
organic grains, etc. in NSLP (National School Lunch Program)food service
operations. If you do use
organic foods, which ones? What percentage of your food purchases do they
represent? What are the barriers to using more organic foods? (Cost,
availability, other issues?) Any information you can provide would be a
big help! Thank you in advance for your responses.
