Minneapolis Public Schools Farm to School Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to describe MPS’ farm to school program and share the many useful tools, resources and documents that have been developed since its inception. Readers will get an overview of how MPS purchases and serves fresh produce from small and mid-sized, sustainable farmers in the region. The primary audience for this toolkit is food service directors and staff at schools or other institutions who wish to serve locally grown foods, as well as partners who serve to support or fund farm to school programs. Anyone interested in farm to school will learn something from this tangible example of how a school district serves farm-fresh produce in school meals.
