January 20, 2010: Upper Valley Farm to Cafeteria Working Group--1:00 PM to 4:00 PM Woodstock Elementary School, Woodstock, VT. The afternoon will be focused on developing strategies to common barriers and
challenges that school lunch programs face in working to integrate local food into
their school lunch offerings. The "working group" session will include a combination of success stories shared
by cafeteria staff in the Upper Valley, and opportunities for all participants to work
on developing solutions in their kitchens. There will also be sample cafeteria
equipment and informational resources on hand. And, we will - as always –
jointly prepare and enjoy a delicious, local, light meal.
