Make the Farm to School Connection
The farm to school movement is gaining momentum in Hawai‘i. Island farmers and distributors are invited to a mini trade show to meet public charter school reps who are leading the charge to create a local supply chain to feed our keiki fresh, nutritious, locally grown food—your food!
Farmers: Bring samples of your produce or locally produced value-added products and meet school food buyers who want to purchase your food for school food programs, including the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. If your crops are not ready for harvest, bring photos of your produce and farm.
Distributors, Food Hubs, and School Meal Vendors: Come meet farmers and schools and help us develop a local school food supply chain.
Exhibition Space
Tables will be available for you to exhibit your produce and/or information about your farm or business.
