Work with Farmers

Linking local schools to local farms in an educational opportunity for kids and an economic engine for building strong local economies. Farmers can help make sure Congress hears our message loud and clear.

Ways to Get Farmers Involved:

• Ask farmers to include the petition at their farmers market stand. Here's a PDF you can print.
• Ask farmers to spread the word to their CSA members and to farm associations.
• Help farmers write their own letters to Congress.
• After Congress passes the Child Nutrition Act, you next step can be to start a Farm to School program at a school in your district.

Resources for Farmers:

• The National Farm to School Network is a comprehensive resource for information on linking local schools to local farms.
• Farm Aid's Farm to School 101 Toolkit has good information on how to get started.
