Farm to School Connections Week Links Producers and Food Buyers

In Washington state, May 18 – 24, 2026, Bringing the Farm to School Connections Week, is a virtual, self-paced networking opportunity for Washington food producers and school and childcare food buyers. During this week, school and childcare food buyers contact Washington farmers and producers to set up one-on-one meetings based on their own schedules. The goal is for buyers and sellers to meet each other, build new relationships, explore potential sales opportunities, and – ultimately – get more Washington-grown products into school and childcare meals. Register to participate in the event by April 27, 2026. Farm to School Connections week is a collaborative effort brought to you by the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), Viva Farms, WSDA Farm to School Program, and OSPI Child Nutrition Services.
