Our schools, food systems, and communities have been challenged on numerous fronts over the last few years. We want to acknowledge those challenges and the extraordinary response made by so many to pull together collective action and continue to support farm-to-school efforts. This report highlights some amazing success stories across our state that have provided a beacon of hope.
The Farm to School Coalition of North Carolina is committed to bringing communities together through farm-to-school efforts and ensuring all students, farmers, school staff, and families have the opportunity to participate. Farm to school provides vital connections for local agriculture, schools, and partners and numerous benefits for students, educators, farmers, families, and communities.
