Farm to School Details
A meaningful part of our Bean Crafters' is selling beans and products made from beans to both K-12 programs and higher ed food service. Beans are perhaps the most nutritious and affordable protein source we can feed ourselves and our communities.
They are also versatile and taste awesome.
A core part of our mission is increasing the availability of delicious and nutritious foods to members of the community with less agency over their food choices. This means working to get our local, organic, plant-based foods into cafeterias and food halls where they have been less frequent. There are a lot of structural reasons why smaller food producers focusing on quality are uncommon in these spaces, and yet the tide is slowly turning to a better brighter food system from Kindergarten up.
Product Formulation Statements
USDA Regulations require K-12 programs follow stringent nutrition guidelines that necessitate Child Nutrition Labels or Product Formulation Statements for all foods served in public school cafeterias.
We have PFSs for all of our products and have our products listed in the catalog of Reinhart Food Service/Performance Food Group which is the preferred broad line distributor servicing the schools that are members of the Food Directors Association.
See below for our Product Formulation Statements organized by product.
