Washington School Nutrition Association

Introducing
Washington School Nutrition Association

Washington’s potato farm families have long been supporters of WSNA efforts – we’ve been platinum sponsors for 10 years! And these farm families across the state agree that their mission agrees with that of WSNA – We Feed Kids.

The Potato Commission has created a variety of materials and information to help School Nutrition Directors in the very important work that you do. Look below on this page for videos, presentations, recipes , nutrition specifics and information about how and where Washington potatoes grow.
