As a parent of two school age children I was often frustrated at the lack of healthy well balanced food available at their schools. We could teach them in wellness class about good nutrition but couldn't provide it when the kids went to lunch. At Organic Vending we decided it's time for a change.
Our School program kicked off when Goeff Middle School in East Greenbush called to inquire about our Organic and Natural snacks. Mark Wolf Warford has his class grow an Organic garden and like myself was frustrated at the lack of healthy food available to kids in School. We met with John Giovanni, the food service director and picked some great snacks for the kids in Mark's class to sample. They loved it and several items were chosen to sell through the snack bar at school.
In the case of Goeff Elementary, a teacher and the food service director joined together to advocate the snacks to the kids and got the kids involved by letting them choose the snacks and then tell the other kids about them. We have found it's very helpful if teachers and other students get involved in the process. I can't say I was surprised when the kids at Goeff began buying the food and LOVING IT!
We are currently providing Organic and Natural snacks and vending to Averill Park school district, the Chatham school district and Guilderland High School. We have machines designed for Middle schools and a great product line for the kids in Elementary schools!
We now have the ability to provide our Organic and Natural snacks and beverages to Schools all over the country. We help our food service directors right from the start to design a program that fits their schools needs and we are with you all the way in helping to promote the food to the kids and get them started eating great food that is really good for them.
We do offer commission's and will work with food service directors to not only make these great Organic and Natural snacks available to the kids, but to fit their financial needs as well.
We have also teamed up with Amy's Organics, the country's largest Organic frozen food manufacturer, to offer Organic Burritos on their Ala Cart menu.
