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.

Mobile Farmers Market

Mobile farmers markets visit schools and include their products in school meals. Example Zion Public School Mobile Farmers Market  

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.
