Celebrate National Farm to School Month this October

We’re sharing a few ways to get involved, communicate your good work, and deepen your farm to school and early childhood learning.

Applications Open:

Vermont Capacity Building Grant

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture's Farm to School & Early Childhood Capacity Building Grant includes both financial and technical assistance—it’s this combination that makes the grant so impactful. 

Recipe:

Wheat Berry Salad

Try this often-used recipe from New School Cuisine, our first-of-its-kind cookbook for school nutrition professionals. Find the original recipe for cafeterias, as well as a scaled-down version for smaller early childhood programs and home cooking.

Tips for Buying & Serving

Local Beef in Vermont Schools

Seasonality is a challenge for school nutrition professionals when purchasing local food for their meal programs. However, local beef is available throughout the year and a meaningful ingredient for reaching a Vermont Local Foods Incentive tier. Find tips for buying, using, and menu planning in this new resource.
