Check out New Jersey's Farm to School website to learn more about what is happening with farm to school in the Garden State: www.njfarmtoschool.org In addition to being the central resource for information about school garden programs, local produce purchasing and getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, the NJ Farm to School Network is partnering with several organizations in New Jersey including the New Jersey Farm Bureau and the New Jersey Anti-Hunger Coalition to address issues of awareness about local produce and healthy food for all New Jersey citizens.

We will be hosting a regional series of school garden trainings across the state starting in August 2010 and helping to organize New Jersey's first statewide Farm to School Week to showcase fresh, locally grown produce in our schools.
