A new website has been launched by Cargill’s Harvest Provisions Turkey brand that was designed to help K-12 school foodservice operators enhance the appeal of their menus and grow their meal programs, while complying with federal nutrition guidelines.
Located at harvestprovisionsK12.com, the website features details on the brand’s more-than-30, protein-rich, lower-fat, turkey products, which were created to meet the needs of K-12 foodservice operations. The site also offers creative menu concepts featuring Harvest Provisions items, for breakfast to classroom and cafeteria lunches to after-school-snacking and more.
School foodservice operators will find trend information related to childhood nutrition, plus training and product preparation tips. The site also offers guidance on ordering products through Cargill’s commodity processing program, which allows operators to use their USDA 100124 Turkey Chilled bulk turkey entitlements for value-added Harvest Provisions products.
“Many school foodservice operators struggle to find the right balance between providing smart nutrition and serving foods that students will get excited about eating,” said Deborah Schulte, Cargill foodservice marketing manager. “Our turkey products and new website make it easier for them to do both. The site is unique resources containing value-added information that can help our customers boost program participation and run a better operation.”
