Farm to School
By connecting with the farms right here in our backyard through ByWay Foods and Firsthand Foods, we can help students eat fresh, eat healthy and eat local!
When you bring local foods into your cafeteria, you’re supporting the community from the ground up! Not only are you serving the freshest, healthiest possible foods to your students, you’re also supporting family farms and boosting the rural economy.
Healthy foods and food education that improve child nutrition is what we’re about!
We know that you want to provide students with the best possible food, but we also know that local sourcing takes time – time you don’t have. That’s why we’ve done the legwork for you!
We have built relationships with local farmers who supply us with the best local harvests that we then prep for your busy food service team. Our products arrive at your schools ready to cook and serve, so you can serve up complete local meals quickly and easily.
And, we’re more than farm to school suppliers. We’re farm to school educational partners. From posters and stickers to Core Curriculum aligned lesson plans, we help students learn where their food comes from and why it matters.
At ByWay Foods, we’re all about produce, but we know bringing local proteins into your school is important too! That’s why we partner with Firsthand Foods to bring you access to pasture-raised meats alongside our fresh-cut veggies. All from right here in North Carolina.
Product List
From ground meats to ribbon cut greens, diced sweet potatoes to breakfast sausage, our product list is filled with local favorites grown right here.
