Marin Organic and more than 12,000 schoolchildren are celebrating a record-breaking achievement! Since the inception of the Organic School Lunch and Gleaning Program in 2004, over 100,000 lbs. of donated certified organic food from local farms has been delivered by Marin Organic to public and private schools, resource centers, food banks and elder care facilities! That's 100,000 pounds of organic potatoes, squash, kale, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, lemons, meat, eggs, Straus yogurt and even Straus chocolate milk! By supplementing orders with gleaned products, this program enables 12,000 students to choose nutritious, local food options every week, and schools to stay within their tight budgets. And that's not all, through Marin Organic's  Farm Days hundreds of students get hands-on experience and instruction on local farms and help with harvesting for the Organic School Lunch and Gleaning Program, empowering them to take action on their own campuses by creating grassroots CSA's, composting sites and school gardens. Oh, and did we mention our truck runs on 100% biodiesel? Now that's eating green!
