Food Services 
There are many good reasons to choose locally grown apples, cider and other products 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. Purchasing NH Farm to School apples and cider is easy: The apples are selected and packed with kids in mind--the extra-fancy 140’s have maximum crunch and NO stickers!
Here's how you can get involved!
- Find out if your school is participating in the NH FTS Program.
- Purchase local apples and cider for your cafeteria.
- Print NH FTS posters for your cafeteria.
- Inform your fellow food service directors and staff about the program.

- Talk with students, teachers and administrators about the program.
