The Summit will include:

  • Local foods lunch
  • One hundred and fifty attendees who will share best practices and learn about school gardens, fisheries, local procurement for cafeteria meals, food and farm education, and public policies that support the farm to institution movement.

This form allows sponsors to indicate their level of interest in supporting the 2018 ME Farm to Institution Summit and provide contact information to the event organizers.
