Recently the Pennsylvania Farm to School Network (PFSN) launched the year-long PA Farm to School Institute with a two-day retreat at Heritage Creek Farm, bringing together over 50 farm to school stakeholders from across the state, offering a wide array of training opportunities through specialized workshops, panel discussions and large presentations. Training sessions were led by stakeholders from a variety of sectors including farmers, government agencies, non profits, school food service directors and even youth leaders! During the retreat, the seven selected school, district and early childhood and education program teams developed action plans to enhance farm to school programming in their communities during the upcoming school year, including starting and maintaining school gardens; serving PA-grown produce in school meals and snacks; and providing educational experiences for kids to learn about food and agriculture.
