Field to Table Schools
FoodShare's Field to Table Schools program provides students and teachers with hands-on, curriculum-linked food literacy education from JK to Grade 12. Through interactive student workshops, teacher trainings, and school food garden projects, the Field to Table Schools team is reconnecting students across the GTA with the joys of growing, harvesting, cooking, eating and composting food.

At FoodShare, we're cooking up a Recipe for Change: reminding children what food is and where it comes from, teaching that healthy food also tastes good, and helping them to choose it for themselves. Recipe for Change will build on our Field to Table Schools program to take our vision for students to new heights.
