Learn and share how schools and programs across Montana are embracing the core elements of farm to school — serving local foods, growing school gardens, and providing nutrition, agriculture, and food education. Workshops, experiential learning, and networking
opportunities will provide inspiration, ideas, and resources. <o:p></o:p></p>

All individuals interested in farm to school programs are encouraged to attend, including school and summer food service personnel, afterschool program coordinators, educators, school administrators, preschool and childcare providers, parents, students, food
producers and vendors, farm to school practitioners, and groups that support farm to school efforts. If you have a story to tell or lesson to teach, we encourage you to apply for a workshop session. This opportunity not only provides a platform for discussion,
it also serves as a way to dig deeper into farm to school through collaboration.
