Nutrition Education
Nope! We offer a free digital library of student nutrition education materials and staff resources to schools that order our produce via our Client Portal, and send printed materials every year. The school team sends out an email near the beginning of the school year to let clients know when their printed materials will arrive. We do also offer some items for sale, including our Nutrition Education Kits and select posters. Learn more about our materials.
If you’re a client, we have tons of nutrition education materials waiting for you! To explore them all and download what you need, visit our Client Portal.
