Get smart eat local 10-district project 
In 2006, NH FTS initiated a new pilot program -- the Get Smart Eat Local 10-District project -- to work with school districts and farms in the seacoast region of the state to work help build and strenghten direct farm-to-cafeteria relationships and introduce new local foods in the schools. In contrast to the statewide model established by NH FTS to bring NH apples and cider to as many NH schools as possible, the Get Smart Eat Local 10-District project is making direct connections between farms and ten school districts — 27 schools with over 15,000 students — in Rockingham and Strafford counties to add fresh New Hampshire-grown products to school menus. This pilot project offers a different model for procuring local foods. Funding for this project of the NH Farm to School program was provided by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Josephine A. Lamprey, Otto, and Thanksgiving funds and is a collaboration of the University of New Hampshire’s Office of Sustainability and UNH Cooperative Extension.
