Are you and your school or organization actively working with others in your community to increase access to local, healthy foods? Do you want to build skills to help accelerate and sustain your work and build stronger community connections? If so, consider applying for the institute!
The NH Farm to School Summer Institute is being offered this June 2018 for selected teams from New Hampshire communities who are committed to increasing access of local, healthy food options in their school cafeterias, hospitals, and other community locations. The Summer Institute is part of the “Beacon Communities” pilot project, which has been working with Somersworth, Nashua, and Colebrook to advance community goals of creating healthy communities and increasing access to local foods. Located at UNH in Durham, the Summer Institute will include two and a half days of team building, hands-on activities, field trips, practical skill building, and great food and fun!  Read more.
