VERMONT FEED Technical Assistance

Technical Assistance

Vermont FEED’s technical assistance to schools helped launch 45 new Farm to School programs across Vermont in the past two years.

 
This past year, Vermont FEED technical assistance helped school communities to:

• Move successfully from vision to action for Farm to School programs

• Fully integrate food farm and nutrition into standards-based curricula
• Develop skills in food processing and preparation for school meals
• Create and test recipes and  conduct taste testing demonstrations
• Identify infrastructural and cultural assets and needs
• Coordinate and conduct local farmer forums for food service staff
• Visit farms to orient food service and teachers to farms and farmers
• Learn how to conduct hands-on food, farm and nutrition activities

 
More than 100 school communities worked with Vermont FEED this past year to establish, refine, and expand Farm to School programs.
 
You can download our Menu of Services for more details about our consultation and technical assistance options, which are tailored to your program needs.
