Jeanne Reilly: Feeding the Future Through School Nutrition

In this episode of The Fresh CrEd, recorded live at the 2025 IFPA Foodservice Conference in Monterey, we sit down with Jeanne Reilly, Director of School Nutrition @ RSU 14 Windham / Raymond School District.

Jeanne shares how schools can transform cafeterias into spaces that build lifelong healthy eating habits, and why getting fruits and vegetables onto every tray matters for kids, families, and communities alike.

We explore:

• How early exposure to produce shapes lifelong health outcomes

• The challenges and opportunities in today’s K–12 nutrition programs

• Why partnerships between schools, growers, and parents are critical for success

Whether you’re in produce, education, or a parent invested in your child’s nutrition, this conversation offers insights you can put into action today.
