Welcome to the NH Farm to School Program 
NH Farm to School (NHFTS) is a statewide program working to connect NH farms and schools. Farm to school connections enable schools to serve healthy, locally grown foods in their cafeterias, integrate farms, food, and nutrition into their curriculum, and explore food and agriculture-based learning opportunities.
What are the benefits of participating in NH Farm to School?
- Flavor & Freshness: Foods grown locally are fresher, and taste better than food shipped long distances.
- Vibrant local agriculture: When you buy locally grown food, you help ensure that NH farms continue to thrive, helping to preserve NH's open spaces and rural, working landscape.
- Enhanced school curriculum: Local food connections create opportunities to incorporate food, nutrition and farming themes into curriculum, and explore experiential learning opportunities such as cooking, school gardening, and visits to local farms.
- Long-term health & nutrition: The more a child is involved with food, through gardening, farming, cooking or other "real life" food experiences, the more likely he or she will adopt healthy eating behaviors as a life long practice.
