GMFTS works to promote the health and wellbeing of Vermont’s children, farms and communities, by providing programs for schools that integrate fresh food from local farms and school gardens into cafeterias, while providing the knowledge and skills students need to make healthy lifestyle choices.
GMFTS School Programs:
Sprouts After-School Program
Sprouts is a year-round, after-school program for grades 2-6 that promotes healthy lifestyle choices through hands-on garden and cooking activities.
Farm-to-School Network
The Farm-to-School Network provides Vermont schools with on-going coordination of farm-to-school activities that promote the health and wellbeing of students, farms and communities. Activities include local food purchasing, farm field trips, educational workshops, taste tests and harvest festivals.
