Fresh FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PROGRAM


The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to children at eligible elementary schools during the school day.

The goal of the FFVP is to introduce children to fresh fruits and vegetables, to include new and different varieties, and to increase overall acceptance and consumption of fresh, unprocessed produce among children. The FFVP also encourages healthier school environments by promoting nutrition education.

Below is a sample FFVP calendar. The fresh processed items are pre-portioned and the piece fruits are sized specifically for elementary students.
