  Local Agriculture    
 
Farm to Schools Program
Connects New Hampshire farms with schools seeking to purchase local produce. Starting in 2003, with 58 schools purchasing local apples, the project has grown to the point where all New Hampshire schools are purchasing locally produced apples and cider. In 2006, the project expanded to 10 school districts in two counties purchasing a variety of locally raised fruits and vegetables.

New Hampshire's Farm to Schools Program web site contains links for teachers, farmers, parents, health educators and others.
