Learn more about Farm to School in Minnesota, the goals and requirements of this year’s Farm to School grant program, and helpful information on how to successfully connect with and sell to schools. Co-hosted by the Institute for Agriculture & Trade Policy.

The goal of these grants is to increase the amount of Minnesota grown and raised foods used in school meals, and support market development for socially disadvantaged farmers and small businesses. Thanks to the USDA’s Local Food for Schools program, we awarded more than $4 million to K-12 schools to buy Minnesota grown and raised foods for the upcoming year.
