The Holmen School District is hosting a Farm to School Networking Event and site visit to connect producers and school food service buyers.

At this event, attendees will hear directly from successful producer-buyer partnerships, see how local products are used in a school kitchen, and tour the school greenhouse. Producers and school food buyers will have the opportunity to connect in a speed dating format. Participants will have the opportunity to network, ask questions, and sample some of the locally procured ingredients Holmen School District uses in their school meals. Producers are encouraged to bring samples!

NCAT, National Farm to School Network, and Marbleseed are partnering for this event as part of the Bringing the Farm to School through New Connections project. After the event, attendees are encouraged to attend the additional farm to school content at the Marbleseed Organic Farming Conference, taking place in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin, just 20 minutes from Holmen High School. There will be limited scholarships for attending the conference on a first come first served basis and special pricing for participants that missed the scholarship opportunity.
