Food Services 
There are many good reasons to choose locally grown apples, cider and other local fruits and vegetables for your school! Local foods are fresher, and fresh tastes better than foods shipped long distances. Buying local food helps to make farming more profitable thereby helping to preserve NH's open spaces and rural, working landscape.
Here's how you can get involved!
- Find out if your school is participating in the NH FTS Program.
- Purchase local fruits and vegetables for your cafeteria.
- Inform your fellow food service directors and staff about the program.
- Purchase as many locally grown products for use in your cafeteria as you can. To find local farms, visit our NH Agriculture Resources Page.
- Contact produce distributors that buy NH grown and regional produce.
- Arrange a local foods taste test in your cafeteria.
- Talk with students, teachers and administrators about the program.
- Print NH FTS posters for your cafeteria.
- Read about how one food service director integrated local foods into his cafeteria!
