More Farm to School Workshops Set
Nebraska Ag Connection - 02/11/2016

Farmers are invited to join the Center for Rural Affairs, in partnership with UNL, at farm to school trainings being held across Nebraska. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the farmer and school connection, and to spend face-to-face time with school food service staff.

Please register via email or phone (sarahs@cfra.org or 402-783-1183) for one of the following Saturdays, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

This workshop and lunch are free, and will be tailored to fruit and vegetable, nut and herb growers, as well as school food service staff. This is a unique opportunity to be in the same place, at the same time, as school food service for farm to school trainings.

Upcoming workshops include:

-- Feb. 13: Hemingford Public School

-- March 19: Wayne Public School

-- April 2: North Platte Public School

-- April 9: Litchfield Public School

More information and the agenda for the workshop can be found at cfra.org.

Also, remember to register now for the big, multi-state Midwest Farm to School Conference in Nebraska City coming on March 2. Early bird registration ends February 1. Scholarships are available.

For more information, contact Sarah Smith, Nebraska Farm to School lead, Center for Rural Affairs, at 402-783-1183 or sarahs@cfra.org.
