About the Program: 

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2014 USDA Farm to School Program grant: “K‐12 Eating Local Foods” overcomes barriers to institutionalize eating abundant local foods at school every day by developing systems to better link local farms to schools. The two‐year project develops resources and processes to overcome existing barriers by streamlining ordering, delivery, and processing through linkages to existing local foods online buying clubs and includes youth engagement.
