Since 2009 Fresh Fruit and Vegetables: A Centerpiece of A Healthy School Environment trainings have taken place all across California. We strive to share all the materials shared at our trainings on this website.
Resources are categorized in the following sections. They are a mix of external websites and copies of handouts used at our trainings. Please note that while our trainers strive to share similar content at all of our trainings there are differences from site to site and from year to year. We try to keep this list as updated as possible.
This site also provides copies of videos, recipes and powerpoint presentations used at our tranings.
