(Apologies for cross-postings.) Greetings, The national Farm to School organization and we here in Michigan would like to learn more about the great farm to school programs that are up and running in our state. If you're involved in a program that brings local foods into school cafeterias in Michigan, please take a few minutes to let us know about it! EITHER complete this short survey developed by national Farm to School- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=UMQ9dQyoJ5dSdkHsJ5KCfA_3d_3d (See the message below for more information) OR send by email a brief description of your program, including information like the school(s), organization(s), and/or farmer(s) involved, contact information, any media attention, and up-coming farm to school events, to Monika Kothari ([log in to unmask]) here at MSU. We'll compile that information and be sure to send it off to the national organization. Once this updated program information has been compiled, it will be posted to the Michigan page of the Farm to School website - http://www.farmtoschool.org/MI/. (If you're already listed on this site, please still pass along updated information.) We're looking forward to hearing about the great farm to school work that's made Michigan a farm to school leader in the Great Lakes area!
