For every dollar spent on local foods in schools, one to three dollars circulate in the local economy

Resources

The success of Farm to School programs relies on the collaboration of many constituents.  The parents who organize field trips, the farmers who restore a connection to agriculture, the teachers who emphasize nutrition in the classroom, the food service staff that can serve healthy, appetizing food, and the policy makers that support a healthy community with policies that enable schools to buy local all play a vital role. The Farm to School resources compiled on our site will assist you with implementing local sourcing at your school, developing garden and nutrition lessons, identifying funding sources and learning about statewide policies.
