Let’s Talk about Colorado Cool Schools!

Here at Wacky Apple we believe all children should have access to healthy, organic, great tasting food!

We believe supplying great tasting, real, organic food, combined with fun, will lead to happy and healthy kids! We work hard to provide Colorado products to our local Colorado school systems. From our organic fresh apples to our organic Flat Fruit, Applesauce, and Juice, it is our vision to provide delicious, healthy snacks to schools and families.

We have the honor to work with some VERY COOL SCHOOLS around the state of Colorado! The schools we work with are VERY COOL to be thinking outside the box to make sure their students receive multiple servings of fresh fruits and vegetables in a day. It is amazing to see such progressive schools, teachers, lunch room staff and school directors making moves to feed their students fresh, healthy, delicious food and buy local Colorado produce when available!

It all began with the National Farm to School Network and now our wonderful state of Colorado is leading the way to healthier school lunches with our own Colorado Farm to School Program.

We would like to send a special thank you to some of these awesome programs! Keep up the hard, and wonderful, work Colorado! Together we can change the way our children eat!
