MN Extension Connects Producers With School Cafeterias

The University of Minnesota Extension has partnered to bring a series of workshops designed to link local farmers with schools and cafeterias. The Farm to Cafeteria workshops are designed to educate farmers and educational institutions in Minnesota about collaborating to increase local food purchases. Sessions include information on purchasing local on a budget, farmer/buyer relationships, on-farm food safety, marketing local food and nutrition education in the classroom and beyond. Workshops open this month and run through April. Learn more.
