Farm to School/Pre-School
Georgia Shape aims to be an integral part of the Farm to School movement in Georgia. Farm to School work bring gardens and farming techniques to the school setting with the help of community partners. To make this happen, the Farm to School Alliance was formed, and the group meets on an ongoing quarterly basis to develop initiatives. These partners combine resources and work together to ensure that healthy food efforts and school gardens continue to flourish in Georgia!
