Farm to School includes a range of activities that connect students with agriculture through the 3 C’s: Cafeteria, Classroom, and Community. Through technical assistance, training, and practical tools, UConn Extension supports both farms and school buyers, increasing the availability of locally grown products in school cafeterias. We partner closely with state agencies and practitioners to expand farm to school to all communities.
Farm to School is part of UConn Extension’s Sustainable Food Systems initiative, one of several programs that strengthen farm viability and resilience while supporting local economies, food systems, and community well-being across Connecticut.
This interactive resource maps farms across the state that have demonstrated their ability and willingness to connect with schools.
Connecticut's Regional Farm to School Coordinators help bring farm to school to life in local communities.
