Small Farms/School Meals Initiative: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Bring Small Farms and Local Schools Together (PDF)
A comprehensive approach to connecting small farms to the school meal programs began in the summer of 1997. At that time, the Small Farms/School Meals Initiative, popularly called the “farm-to-school” initiative, started. This initiative—which is based on the cooperation of federal, state and local governments, as well as local farm and educational organizations—encourages small farmers to sell fresh fruits and vegetables to schools and schools to buy this wholesome produce from small farmers. |
