This case study details how they made it happen, what they learned along the way, and the impact it's having on their school community. **Read the case study: **https://www.farmtocafeteriacanada.ca/2022/05/kings-county-academys-transition-from-a-contracted-food-service-provider-to-a-pta-run-cafeteria/Nourish NS #farm2school #localfood #schoolfood #schoolgarden #saladbar______## Étude de cas : # **Le parcours d’une école qui est passé d’un fournisseur de services alimentaires à une cafétéria gérée par l’APE ​​****Kings County Academy **(KCA) est une école allant de la maternelle à la 8e année située à Kentville, en Nouvelle-Écosse.
