IATP F2S Producer Directory
The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy conducted a state‐wide survey to assess the interest of farmers and ranchers in selling to K‐12 schools. The response was very positive, and many growers asked IATP to let school food service staff know that they would like to sell to schools in their area. In response, this list was created in hopes that it will help districts connect with interested growers.
