Lake Travis ISD Food and Nutrition Services is working to transform public dollars into public good by participating in the Good Food Purchasing Program, which encourages institutions to align their food purchases with 5 value categories: Local Economies, Environmental Sustainability, Valued Workforce, Animal Welfare, and Nutrition.

The folks at the Center for Good Food Purchasing help us dive deep into the details of our food purchases, set achievable goals, and track progress! By leveraging our institutional buying power, we are helping to support a more transparent, sustainable, and resilient food system.

Lake Travis ISD serves local, hydroponic, pesticide-free lettuce from True Harvest Farms in Belton, TX at all campuses!  

When possible, our food is served using:

• Compostable lunch trays
• Compostable plates & bowls
• Biodegradable & compostable cutlery

To encourage fruit and vegetable intake and ensure students walk away with satisfied tummies, we allow the selection of "unlimited" fruits and vegetables to be included with the purchase of a complete meal.

Limit: 2 of each type of fruit or vegetable. Fries are excluded from this promotion. 

As the supply chain allows, we aim to avoid the following ingredients in our food products:

• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
• Artificial Dyes
