USDA Reports Farm to School Grant Program a Success!

Posted on September 11, 2015

A new report from the USDA shows that its Farm to School Grants have increased the potential that millions of kids around the country will not only eat more healthful foods at school, but that the grants are also creating more local markets to which farmers can sell. Read the full press release on the USDA website and see the new report.

We here at VT FEED are thrilled that this is making national news. Many people have seen and shared the changes happening in our communities because of farm to school programs, so we already know it's having a positive effect on everyone involved. The recognition from the USDA serves to further validate all the hard work that those of us in the farm to school system are doing and the grant money that has been awarded. Keep up the good work!
