October is Farm to School Month! At Fork Farms, we believe every student should have access to fresh, nutritious food. That’s why we’re working with partners around the world to transform school meals with our Flex Farms! You might not think of hydroponic technology like the Flex Farm as a traditional "farm," but it grows plants just as effectively as traditional methods with less water and space! It's a fantastic option for areas with unstable year-round temperatures, ensuring fresh produce is available regardless of the climate. Let's celebrate the schools making fresh food happen and continue to nourish the futures of our children together! Follow along with us all month long as we highlight Fork Farms partners who are making an impact in their schools. If you would like to share how your school is transforming school lunches, send us a message! We would love to hear from you. ??: farmtoschool.org #FarmToSchool #NourishingFutures #NationalFarmtoSchoolMonth #ForkFarms #FlexFarm #FlexAcre #STEM #foodservice #F2SMonth @farmtoschool

Fork Farms Partner Spotlight: Caribbean Climate-Smart Agriculture Project "We’re excited to share the progress of our joint Climate-Smart Agriculture Project across Anguilla, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands. Using Fork Farms’ innovative mobile hydroponic Flex Farms, we’ve successfully produced 2,382 heads of leafy greens from January to June 2024! ???? In a region where 52% of the population faces food insecurity, this initiative is making a real difference. Everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food, especially vulnerable groups like youth and women. Recently, the Walkers Institute for Regenerative Research Education and Design (WIRRED) hosted a hands-on workshop in Barbados. Participants—including students, educators, local businesses, and farmers—engaged in learning about hydroponic farming technology and how it can combat food insecurity and climate change. ????" - Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator Read more about this project in today's blog: Fork Farms Partner Spotlight: Caribbean Climate-Smart Agriculture Project https://hubs.li/Q02RjJTR0 #FoodSecurity #Caribbean #SustainableAgriculture #ForkFarms #FlexFarm #Hydroponics #AgTech #HydroponicsBlog
