Supporting Farm to School Activities
Grants & Resources
Whether the
goal is to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in a school
district, supplement agriculture and nutrition education by
providing local foods to students, or support the local farming
community, there are many reasons that a school engages in Farm
to School activities.
Some school
districts’ Farm to School activities may solely involve
purchasing local farm products, while others view their school
garden and farm field trips as “Farm to School.” Each school
district must decide how related farm to school activities can
complement and support their school meal programs.
To assist
in supporting your Farm to School efforts, below are links to
tools and resources that can help fund, implement, expand or
evaluate your Farm to School activities. Taking advantage of
all resources that may be available will help to ensure the
greatest successes possible.
