Northeast Farm to School Institute Summer Kickoff Retreat

Applications are now closed. Sign up to be notified when 2027–28 program applications open in early 2027.

Our Northeast Farm to School Institute is a unique year-long professional learning opportunity for selected school, district, or early childhood teams from New England and New York.

Since 2010, the Institute has been bringing teams together to build relationships, skills, and a collaborative action plan for their schools. With the support of a coach, teams spend the school year putting their plans into action and strengthening their capacity to impact classrooms, cafeterias, and communities, with change that lasts.

This is a year-long program kicking off with an in-person summer retreat at Shelburne Farms, June 23-25, 2026. Teams will implement their action plans during the following school year with the support of a coach. Applications are due February 20.
