Welcome to the NH Farm to School Program!
Since 2003, NH Farm to School (NHFTS) has been working to establish farm-to-school connections within communities across the Granite State. Starting as a pilot to introduce local apple products into K-12 schools, NH Farm to School now continues with other procurement efforts, establishing school gardens, helping to coordinate gleaning work, advocating for agriculture and nutrition education, and more!

NH Farm to School hosts two harvest projects to help educators, parents, and communities enjoy farm fresh foods all year round, the NH Harvest of the Month program and the Indigenous Harvest calendar.

Every October, we celebrate National Farm to School Month. Join us and other schools across the state in recognizing the importance of farm to school through activities, lesson plans, good local food, and fun!
