This August, Vermont FEED and the School Nutrition Association of Vermont are hosting a series of regional on-farm workshops throughout Vermont that are free for any school nutrition professional that would like to join.

These workshops are an opportunity to build relationships, learn about what’s happening on each particular farm, and prepare a new menu item featuring produce from the farm that can be featured on your menu during back to school season. Registration will be capped at 12 attendees per site, so please sign up for only one workshop.

See the full list of events here. Reach out to Farm to School & Development Coordinator Kayla Strom at kayla@nofavt.org if you have any questions.
