Farm To Institution
Farm To Institution
Cultivating connections between regional farms and local cafeterias. Farm to school and other farm to institution efforts build nutritious lunch trays for eaters and viable markets for regional farmers and supply chain partners.
Grains to Trays
Grains to Trays resources support the use of grains, beans, and oilseeds in Wisconsin institutional culinary programs. While institutions already purchase grain in many forms, they often require additional knowledge, relationships, skills, or culinary capacity to incorporate local grains. Similarly, many regional farms, mills, and food manufacturers already have products available for sale that institutions might like to purchase, but need support navigating the particulars of working together. This grant project centered network building and resource development to get local grains on Wisconsin trays.
