Farm to School

YES Charter Academy in Yuba County
YES Farmers Nick Brown and Tatiana Kaiser help students harvest fresh carrots—appetizers for their lunch!

Our Farm to School program serves students fresh, locally sourced ingredients in school meals, fresh local fruits and vegetables in our salad bar, and local grass-fed beef and organic chicken in our main dishes.

YES has a greenhouse, a garden, and a henhouse, all tended by YES farmers and our students. We buy ingredients for school meals from local farmers and ranchers. All meals are cooked fresh every day in our school kitchen. Our Farm-to-School team is:

Nick Brown, YES Farmer
Tatiana Kaiser, YES Farmer
Sheila Rolfer, YES Procurement Specialist
Cherrity Leyson YES School Chef
Michele Rodriquez YES Cook
