Grants to New York nonprofit organizations, K-12 school authorities, charter schools, and Indian tribal organizations to increase the usage of locally-grown produce in school meal programs. Applicants are advised that required registrations must be completed prior to submitting an application.
Funding is available for eligible school districts to support the growth of Farm-to-School programs across New York State.

The objective of Farm to School projects must be to increase the volume and variety of New York State farm products purchased by schools/districts to be served in school meal programs. Applicants are encouraged to include other objectives including agricultural and nutrition education, gardening activities and relationship building with local agricultural food businesses and farmers. Projects that partner with producers or food processors are strongly encouraged.
