Farm to School Institute Adaptation Program 2026-27 Kickoff Retreat

Created by Vermont FEED, a partnership of Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools and NOFA-VT, the Farm to School Institute is a proven professional learning model for growing robust farm to school programs that last.

Our model’s success lies in engaging whole-school teams in building shared leadership and capacity. Through action planning, coaching, peer networking, and skill building, we create sustainable farm to school programs that connect the dots between classrooms, cafeterias, and communities.

The Farm to School Institute Adaptation Program is an opportunity for farm to school leaders across the country to adapt the model to your region and grow farm to school in your state. 

This is a year-long program with an in-person retreat at Shelburne Farms June 22–26, 2026 coinciding with the Northeast Farm to School Institute.

This project has been funded at least in part with Federal funds from the US Department of Agriculture.
