Salad Bars In Schools: A Fresh Approach to Lunch
by Lori Nikkel and Joanne Porter



All the tools you need to start a salad bar program in your own school.

With childhood obesity on the rise, and the continued and increasing disconnect between food production on farms and urban life, the Farm to School and Salad Bar approach seem so sensible.  It is a practical way for parents, schools and kids to learn about healthy eating in a positive and fun way.  Imagine the power of reaching children at school with a positive message about healthy eating and adding gardens and composting to school breakfast, lunch and snack programs for an integrated and holistic approach to food. 

It is so simple and elegant but so important. Even those of us who most strongly believe that children will like healthy foods eventually have been pleasantly shocked at the way the kids gobbled up the healthy Salad Bar lunch, almost from the moment it was presented to them.
