Green Mountain Farm-to-School (GMFTS) is a leader in the growing farm-to-school movement in Vermont. Our mission is to strengthen local food systems in Vermont by promoting positive economic relationships, education, and access between schools, farms, and communities.

We create and sustain healthy communities by working across the food system with capacity building, resource development, and technical assistance through our Farm-to-School program, Farm Direct food hub, and Lunchbox food truck.


Thank you to our 2024 premier sponsors – The Abbey Group, Community National Bank and Jay Peak!

Our work is made possible because of a network of businesses, institutions, organizations and community members who are in partnership with us.

We are so proud of 23 middle-school students who have participated in our new Community Cooking program so far in Orleans, Brighton, and Troy. To date, the program has donated over 460 meals to local community organizations. We can’t wait to bring the program to more Northeast Kingdom schools next school year!  Read more about the program in a recent article in the Caledonian Record. Link in bio.
