For Farmers
More than 100 schools work with farms in Vermont to bring local food into their cafeterias and classrooms, and to bring students to farms. VT FEED helps to develop these relationships, orient teachers and farmers to educating students on farms, and works with farmers and food service staff to create purchasing arrangements that help children have access to more fresh, local foods.
