Students in Sheboygan County are losing their nutrition education.

Beginning this fall, Wisconsin will lose all SNAP-Ed funding - eliminating vital food and nutrition education programs for kids across the state. In Sheboygan County, Nourish Farms is now the only provider of in school nutrition education, visiting over 1,800 students monthly.

Programming is free for students, but costs Nourish $100 to provide one student with a full year of hands-on, farm-based food education. Your donation supports our Farm2School program, keeping our vital nutrition and culinary education in classrooms where we are needed most.

Teachers on Nourish: “Yes!” to Hands-On Food Education

When asked if they found Nourish’s Farm2School programming impactful, here’s what local teachers had to say…

“Yes! Exposing them to healthy foods. Sharing recipes with families. Hands-on learning about where our food comes from and why it's beneficial to eat.”

“Yes! Loved the info about nutritious food choices and loved that the kids felt comfortable to try ‘new’ things!”

“Yes absolutely! The children learn valuable information as well as being exposed to food that they may not necessarily be exposed to otherwise.”
