This guide is designed to help school nutrition staff, teachers, and farm to school coordinators develop a successful taste test program, a strategy which VT FEED has found to be effective at encouraging children to try new foods, explore a variety of healthy dishes, and develop lasting healthy eating habits. Published by VT FEED.
This guide provides the tools and resources to help implement a taste testing program in your school in order to:
- broaden student experiences with a variety of foods
- introduce foods that are locally grown and available
- integrate new, local foods into school meal programs and get students to eat them!
