Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food & Markets October is National Farm to School Month - an apt time to step back and appreciate all the farmers, supply chain workers, food service professionals, childcare providers, educators and administrators that have been carrying out the heroic work of keeping kids fed during this pandemic. From everyone at the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets, a huge thank you.
October also marks the return of the Agency's Farm to School and Early Childhood grant. This grant, open to Vermont schools and childcare providers, helps organizations build or expand farm to school and farm to early childhood programs. Successful grantees will receive $10,000 and a suite of professional support to help them achieve their unique goals. Want to bring more local food into your school or childcare business, create or expand gardens and outdoor learning spaces, or form connections with your local agricultural community? You can do all of that and more with the help of this grant.
Have questions about the grant? Join a live Q&A discussion on Wednesday, October 13th at 4pm. Click to join the meeting or contact Liz Kenton for more information.
Deadline to Apply: November 1
