Salad Bar Pilot Project
In partnership with the South Shore School Food Project (SSSFP), Agri-Futures NS is installing five salad bars in five schools in the South Shore Regional Centre of Education. The goals of the project are to:
- Launch a salad bar program in five schools in the SSRCE with a combined student population of 1,700.
- To procure $55,000 worth of locally sourced food (coming from Nova Scotia farmers/food producers).
- To procure at least 30% locally sourced ingredients for the salad bars (the % will be calculated on an annual basis due to fluctuating food seasonality).
- To sell 25,000 feature meals (showing popularity of offer and volume increase)
- To sell 7.5 meals per labour hour (comparing start-up investment cost and how this is impacted with time, efficiencies and familiarity).
