Farm to School is a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that is officially called the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program. Farm to School helps Child Nutrition program operators bring local foods into the school cafeteria.
November 2023 WDE hired a Farm to School Coordinator thanks to a USDA grant. The grant runs through September 2026. The goal is for the Farm to School Coordinator to foster relationships between Wyoming producers and National School Lunch Program Schools. We know it is best for all Wyoming students to eat Wyoming products while in school.
