Learn how to guarantee the sustainability and implementation of your work with the NE Farm to School Institute!
The Northeast Farm to School Institute is a year-long professional learning opportunity for twelve school teams selected from across New England and New York. The year-long Institute begins with a professional development retreat held at Shelburne Farms
in Shelburne, VT from June 25-27, 2019.
Individual schools from Maine may apply if they have developed a community team committed to implementing Farm to School initiatives within their school/school district.
Selected teams will develop a Farm to School action plan, network with other schools from across the Northeast, and receive professional development for teachers and nutritional services staff--surrounded by the beautiful setting of
Shelburne Farms. Maine's selected teams are paired with an experienced coach from Maine's Farm to School community for year long support.
School teams are encouraged to identify their own Coach, who is a community partner not embedded at the school. For more information about Coach expectations and compensation, contact Stephanie Cesarios.cesario@hccame.org.
