Farm to school makes local food and agricultural education available to child nutrition program participants through grants, research, technical assistance, and training.
The fiscal year (FY) 2024 Farm to School Grant Program request for applications (RFA) is now closed. We anticipate announcing awards in summer 2024. Please check back for more information on the FY 2025 Farm to School RFA, which is expected to be released in October.
The 2023 Farm to School Census data collection period has ended. Thanks to everyone who submitted responses to the survey for their School Food Authority (SFA). We look forward to sharing the 2023 Farm to school Census findings later this fall. To learn more about the data collection process and promotion tools, visit our 2023 Farm to School Census Resources page.
