SANDHILLS FRESH FROM THE FARM FUNDRAISER: HEALTHY FUNDRAISING FOR ONTARIO SCHOOLS

What is Fresh from the Farm?

Fresh from the Farm was designed to provide a healthy fundraising alternative to schools by selling
Ontario-grown fruit and vegetables. Since 2013, 1165 schools have raised over $1.1 million for school
initiatives, selling 2.7 million lb of Ontario produce.

Why Participate?

 Schools keep 40% of sales.
 Families enjoy fresh, Ontario-grown fruit and vegetables.
 Fresh from the Farm promotes a healthy school environment while providing an opportunity for
students to raise money for school initiatives.
 Provides opportunities for students to learn about agri-food and healthy eating.
 Supports Ontario farmers and our local economy.

How does it Work?

 Students collect orders and funds.
 Schools submit an online total school order by October 15.
 Deliveries take place November through to mid-December.
 A 10 day advance delivery notice will be provided, date and time (am or pm).
 On the delivery day, volunteers receive product and package vegetables (Bundle A) into Fresh
from the Farm bags. Apples (Bundle B) arrive pre-packaged in a poly bag or box.
