The Farm-to-School Network provides Vermont schools with on-going coordination of farm-to-school activities that promote the health and wellbeing of students, farms and communities.

Program Goals:

• Increase fresh, local food served to students
• Increase support for local farms
• Increase student knowledge of healthy nutrition and sustainable agriculture
• Build strong school communities

"From growing tasty vegetables in the school garden, to hands-on in-class workshops, to preparing local food meals in the kitchen, to visiting local farms on field trips, our students are learning about food, agriculture and our local community through our Farm-to-School Program. GMFTS has been instrumental in developing and sustaining these programs and we look forward to continuing and growing this partnership."
