Strengthening capacity for farm to school programs nationwide
With the support from Builders Vision Philanthropy, National Farm to School Network is expanding the vision and networking capacity for the Farm to School Coordinator Community of Practice and will additionally implement a Learning Collaborative alongside four states: California, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York.
Learn more about this new phase of our work below and apply for the Learning Collaborative by February 9, 2026.
Over the years of interacting with Partners and school districts, National Farm to School Network’s research demonstrated that one of the key factors that determines the success and expansion of a farm to school program is the presence of a dedicated farm to school coordinator position.
In 2023, NFSN received the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant and piloted a Community of Practice for Farm to School Coordinators. In this first phase, NFSN established two cohorts to provide unique professional development opportunities, support school communities, and develop resources to help build the case for the farm to school coordinator position. As part of this phase, we also partnered with the Colorado State University Institute of Research in the Social Sciences to develop research-backed tools to help advocates implement and strengthen farm to school coordination in their communities.
Now for 2026, we are excited to announce two new opportunities, with support from the Builders Vision Philanthropy:
Farm to School Coordinator Community of Practice:
This year, NFSN will be expanding the Farm to School Coordinator Community of Practice to open it up for more coordinators from across the country and invite them to attend free quarterly CoP meetings and to engage and connect with peers through a central virtual forum.
Interested to learn more about this networking opportunity? Please email NFSN Programs Director at Trisha@farmtoschool.org.
Farm to School Coordinator Learning Collaborative:
Are you a Farm to School Coordinator based in California, Michigan, Minnesota, or New York? Do you have experience with local procurement and farm to school innovation, and are you interested in strengthening your facilitation and presentation skills? NFSN is recruiting 15 Farm to School Coordinators to join the Collaborative.
Interested in joining? Submit your application here. (Deadline: February 9).
