North Dakota Partners
With a goal to network new and emerging farmers with schools and school garden projects, North Dakota has been active in farm to school programs since 2009 with school gardens, Farm to School Week activities, Food Day activities and farm to school month. The state celebrates North Dakota Farm to School Week in September with a governor's proclamation. Networking, farm food safety training and collaborations with partners like North Dakota Farmers Union ensures the program’s success and longevity.
