WHAT WE DO
When Schools and Producers Work Together, Students Win
School districts need guidance to buy local. Producers need a clear path in. We support both, plus more.
If you’ve heard that local food is too expensive or complicated for schools, you’re not alone. But since 2015, Feed Our Future has proven that fresh, local food is both achievable and beneficial for students.
We provide practical guidance that makes it easier for districts to source food locally and for growers to contribute to their communities’ health.
We look beyond ZIP Codes, open up supply chains, and make connections that benefit everyone.
One District. One Producer. One Student at a Time.
Our Core Programs
LOCAL FOOD PROCUREMENT
We guide schools through compliant, cost-effective local food purchasing so students can enjoy fresher meals without districts breaking their budgets.
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Our Totally Tasty taste test events, Food Leaders Alliance, and teaching tools bring excitement to local food in the lunchroom and classroom.
PRODUCER READINESS
We help farms and food businesses prepare to sell to schools. Our team provides guidance on what to expect, how to prepare, and how to scale.
FARM TO EARLY CARE & EDUCATION
Partnering with Early Ages Healthy Stages (EAHS), we help Early Care and Education (ECE) centers introduce healthy eating habits.
EACH SEASON'S FRESH PICKS
Harvest of the Month
Our most popular program helps students discover something new each month. We spotlight different regional foods with ready-to-use promotional materials that make it easy for schools to serve and celebrate local foods.
From menus and signage to lesson ideas and activity kits, we help students get excited about eating fresh, local foods.
