MO Farm to School Workshops

Missouri Farm to School helps connect schools and universities with locally grown food and local farmers. By using more locally grown food in institutions, we can increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables and create new market opportunities for farmers. Learn more about MO Farm to School at our upcoming free workshop. Lunch is provided.
