USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program or FFVP
The USDA’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program provides children in elementary schools with fresh snacks during the day. At Daylight Foods we help schools coordinate this program by scheduling new, fun and delicious snacks throughout the school year – letting you know what fresh, local produce we’ll be delivering a month in advance so that teachers can work snacks into lessons and activities. We provide invoicing and assistance to make the reimbursement process simple.

Harvest of the Month and Farm to School
Supporting local farms is embedded in our mission. Through our farm to school and harvest of the month programs we work with local growers to provide fresh seasonal produce to schools. We provide signage, educational tools and monthly suggestions to make it easy to incorporate local foods into cafeterias. We partner with the Community Alliance of Family Farms to supply districts with tracking, marketing materials and consultation.
