Mississippi Farm to School Network

The Mississippi Farm to School Network connects farmers with schools to bring Mississippi-grown products into school cafeterias. They advocate for local farmers and schools because they believe that purchasing locally-grown, locally-sourced food benefits everyone.

But their mission doesn’t end there.

Their team is dedicated to strengthening the local agricultural economy and educating Mississippians on the importance of eating locally-grown, nutritionally-dense foods. At schools around the state, they teach students how to grow their own gardens because they believe that if a child helps grow something, they will want to eat it.
