Elmore Schools Connect Alabama Farms With Cafeterias

The development

Elmore County Schools are bringing Alabama farms into the cafeteria. The effort connects the school system’s meal service with agriculture produced in Alabama.

What it means

The project puts Alabama-grown food and the state’s farming industry closer to students through the school cafeteria. The announcement identifies Elmore County Schools as the institution involved and Alabama farms as the agricultural partners.

Details such as the farms involved, the foods being served, the number of schools participating and the start date have not been announced. Those details will clarify how the connection will work for students and families.

What comes next

The next steps will include identifying participating farms and explaining how Alabama agricultural products will be included in cafeteria meals. Elmore County Schools can also outline which campuses, menus or meal periods are part of the effort.
