2018-19 Northeast Farm to School Institute:
Applications due Wednesday, March 7th!
The Northeast Farm to School Institute is a unique year-long professional learning opportunity for twelve school teams from New England and New York.
Whether you’re a long-time Farm to School advocate or looking to begin integrating food, farm, and nutrition programs into your school community, you’re invited to form a team and apply.
The Institute kicks off with an action planning retreat at Shelburne Farms from June 26-28, 2018.
Spend the retreat developing your Farm to School action plan, networking with other schools from across the Northeast, and taking part in teacher and nutrition staff specific professional development.
