School and camp administrators know the issues well: parents today want healthier lunch options for their kids. They want to reduce the waste. And they want it now.

The Farmer's Daughter is a turn-key solution for your school or camp. The Farmer's Daughter relieves these pressures by providing a completely turn-key, non-intrusive lunch option. We make it easy on your facilities and your staff. Your parents order online. We take orders and payments. We deliver lunch in temperature controlled containers, with each lunch box labeled and organized so they're easy for kids to find. After lunch, all waste is returned to the containers, and we come by to pick them up. All you need to do is open the door!

The Farmer's Daughter generates opportunity for new enrollment and existing parents. We do not tie-in and cross-market such as other vendors. We are exclusively a children's whole foods lunch company and have developed relationships with our parents and community. The Farmer's Daughter consistently serves your students a delicious variety of organic, natural and fresh meals everyday of the school year. Several of our participating schools feature The Farmer's Daughter lunch program within their new enrollment presentation. We have experienced an exceptionally positive response from existing parents who love our presence in their school. They are relieved of the pressure of making lunch every morning and feel great knowing their children are nourished with a hearty lunch. Essentially, we are your school's centralized kitchen.

The Farmer's Daughter creates an effective healthy alternative to your existing lunch program. Many parents still pack lunch. They want a healthier alternative for their children than what is offered by most school food services. Yesterday's school kitchens are designed with institutionalized food guidelines in place. We have developed relationships with America's premier certified organic purveyor and local farms. We do not compete with your on-site food service, but offer your parents optimal choices. Our service is completely optional, and without the burden of contracts. Your parents will appreciate an administration that recognizes the value of healthy kids that reflect a healthy society.

The Farmer's Daughter helps cultivate better students.
Call us crazy, but we believe that every person should eat 100% food. The Farmer's Daughter's lunch contains no trans-fats, no hydrogenated oil, no artificial coloring, no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no genetically modified or engineered ingredients, no corn syrup, no excessive sodium. Solid science has shown that food affects kids' memory, attention, and cognitive skills. What they eat, how their food is grown, and how their food is processed can all help their whole body to operate at their very best. Parents have found that The Farmer's Daughter lunches are suggested by their medical practitioners as a positive step to their child's well-being and good health.

More than 2.5 million children have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and an additional 15 percent of children have borderline hyperactivity or behavioral issues. Research of nearly 100 studies validated the hypothesis that food dyes and additives are a factor in attention and behavior disorders and can increase the incidence of ADHD. In one of those studies 73 percent of children placed on a diet free from chemical additives, dyes and artificial sweeteners showed a reduction in hyperactivity and an increase in attention.

We believe in quality over quantity. We recognize students who have suppressed appetites. With The Farmer's Daughter lunch, your students can enjoy appetizing high impact foods that lead to healthy eating habits for a lifetime of positive choices.

The Farmer's Daughter helps reduce waste. Our country's school lunches are littered with single-serving plastic bags and containers that are held within the average lunch box. The average American school child generates 67 lbs of waste each year from school lunch alone! That's equates to 18,760 lbs. of lunch waste for just one average-size elementary school. Our lunches are waste free, with reusable, recyclable and biodegradable materials that we make sure are processed responsibly. Our participating schools have saved over 5,000 plastic bags, and is growing!

Your School and camp is the difference - Be the lead where others will follow: A growing movement has emerged to transform school lunch into a vibrant expression of education for sustainability. School administrators and staff recognize the lunchroom experience in many lunch programs as poor-quality meals, shortened lunch periods, commercial messages and excessive packaging and waste which can be a "hidden curriculum" that undermines the classroom lessons about nutrition and health. By opening your school to The Farmer's Daughter, you create a framework for healthy eating and eco-awareness.

Eating is something we all have in common. Learning to make the right choices about food is the single most important key to environmental awareness for us and especially our children. When we are not aware of where our food comes from, the environment will always be something outside of ourselves. It is our long term goal to give back a portion of proceeds to participating schools or camps in order to help fund eco-tourism at local farms. Here at The Farmer's Daughter, we believe that children understand their world and sustainable agriculture as a living education from the ground up. When your school selects The Farmer's Daughter you are demonstrating that your concern goes beyond the lunchroom and into our community.

The Farmer's Daughter is the first in North Carolina that specializes in a whole foods lunch company for children. We are very proud and inspired to be a part of such a venture with your school. Our commitment is for a lifetime of healthy eating habits that begin at home and school that will reflect in your child's life choices in the years to come. Thank you for being a part of the change you wish to see in the world and making a difference with one healthy lunch at a time.
