CDFA invites Californians to join National Farm to School Month celebration

October is National Farm to School Month! This year's theme is, "From Soil to Sea: Nourishing People and Planet," honoring the vital role of farmers and ranchers who establish the foundation for a thriving farm to school movement.

Since 2021, CDFA's California Farm to School Incubator Grant Program has reached 49 percent of all California students through an investment of $86 million in 375 projects, benefitting 2.85 million students at 269 school districts.

Stay tuned to Planting Seeds during National Farm to School Month as we highlight grantee projects and regional Farm to School Program staff across the state working to connect farmers to local school districts and improve the health and wellbeing of children and families.

CDFA encourages educators, school foodservice employees, farmers and farm to school enthusiasts across California to join in the celebration. Visit https://www.farmtoschool.org/ for more information.
