Farm to School
Recipe Kits
Ripon Community Fund has allowed Garden Joy to continue the Farm to School Recipe Kit program!
This program provides 125 -150 Farm to School Recipe Kits once a month to our local Title 1 school, where 50% of students qualify for free lunch.
Each Kit includes a healthy recipe, fresh produce from Ratto Bros., plus all of the ingredients necessary to create a simple, seasonal meal that serves 4 people.
The Garden Joy Farm to School Recipe Kit program provides 500 - 600 meals monthly to students and families in our local community.
We donate 150 kits per month which equals 500-600 meals a month and they are donated to local schools in Ripon.
Join us on the third Thursday of the month from 10:00 am-11:00 am to help assemble recipe kits!
"Our Farm to School Recipe Kit program has been so fun to be a part of! It's such a cool thing to be able to provide families with fresh produce and the opportunity to be able to enjoy preparing a healthy meal together!"
— Heather Crooker, Board Secretary and Ripon Farmers Market Director
