State-Level Food Procurement

State agencies procure local food from growers, with school districts purchasing from the state agency, reducing time and cost for SFAs.

Hands-on Farm Field Trips

On a farm field trip, students participate in the harvest of crops, such as potatoes, which are then brought back to the school and incorporated into a school meal.

Taste Tests

Provide samples of local foods for students to try. If students like the item, work with the food industry to incorporate it into future meals.
