Welcome! Teaching students the
value of healthy eating can seem a formidable task amid the time and budgetary
constraints all too familiar to school foodservice professionals. The
California Cling Peach Board would like to help.
Come see what's new with Schools & Kids. The California Cling Peach Board is committed to working with school nutritionists and directors and managers to create more nutritious fruit offerings on school menus and to more effectively link what happens in California's orchards to learning in the classroom. If you're interested, our School Nutrition Advisory Panel may be just the thing you've been looking for!

NEW School Foodservice Kit! At the California Cling Peach Board, we are excited to present our NEW school foodservice kit now available for use in your school district. Emphasizing the "orchard to the table" story while educating and energizing young minds about agriculture, these materials link the cafeteria with the classroom by providing ready-to-use nutrition and physical education materials. While you discover the importance of California Cling Peaches to your menus and to maintaining healthy diets, your students will learn about the history and canning process of California Cling Peaches via pictorial representations, mind-enhancing activities and fun coloring sheets. |

Now more than ever, American farmers and ranchers are asking for your
commitment to domestic agriculture. By choosing to buy canned California
peaches, instead of foreign imports, you are choosing to support a 150-year-old
industry and an American tradition. For more information, including an
overview of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which requires
school foodservice professionals to purchase American commodities with
government funds, visit the Buy
American section.
Over the years, we've had school foodservice professionals throughout
the country report that canned California peaches are always a favorite
among students. Whether served atop waffles or pancakes, blended into
smoothies, baked into desserts or presented plain at salad bars, canned
California peaches are "a hit" that keep students asking for
more.
Canned California peaches therefore provide school foodservice professionals
an easy way to demonstrate to students that healthy eating is enjoyable
eating. Containing vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and fiber, canned California
peaches are a nutritious bonus for students and can help them develop
their tastes for other fruits and vegetables. For more nutritional information,
visit the Nutrition
and Health section.

Canned Peach" in the Peach
Tips section and our Foodservice
