Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

The United States Department of Agriculture’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides funding to schools so they can provide a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to students throughout their school day.

The goal of the FFVP is to:

• Create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices.
• Expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience.
• Increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption.
• Make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health.

The following school districts have schools that are operating the 2008/2009 program:

• Indian River County
• Manatee County
• Marion County
• Martin County
• Orange County
• Santa Rosa County
