Farm to School Institute Adaptation Program Summer Retreat

Vermont FEED’s Farm to School Institute is a proven professional learning model for growing robust farm to school programs that last. 

Our model’s success lies in engaging whole-school teams in building shared leadership and capacity. Through action planning, coaching, peer networking, and skill building, we create sustainable farm to school programs that connect the dots between classrooms, cafeterias, and communities.

Our Adaptation Program supports teams in their efforts to adapt, develop, and launch their own Farm to School Institutes. We focus on centering the core components that make our Institute model impactful, while modifying aspects to fit your local context and goals. 

Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools has supported 18 states in launching their own Institutes. You can be next.
