Bringing Beef to the Heart of Education and Nutrition
At beef.school, we’re expanding the success of mobeefkids.com to create a comprehensive platform for K-12 educators, school kitchen staff, and beef producers. Our mission? To make beef a staple in school meals and lessons—promoting health, sustainability, and farm-to-school connections. Teachers get engaging, standards-aligned downloadable resources; kitchen pros access easy-to-implement USDA-approved recipes; and producers find proven marketing strategies to partner with schools. We’re here to fuel young minds and bodies while supporting rural economies.
As a suburban school district with an enrollment of over 18,000 students, putting more local foods on the menu and sharing that message broadly has helped boost participation in the school meal program.
With the price of groceries at an all-time high, many families can’t afford to feed their children protein. Because of this, we offer protein at lunch daily. Beef is one of the best protein sources available to us. For some students, school meals are the only meals they get daily.
