Get Local Food to Local Schools
Buy Fresh Buy Local Nebraska is a supporting partner for Farm to School in Nebraska! We are actively working to get more local foods in school meals through statewide programming with the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE).
Ask your local school to get on board by participating in a farm to school program!

Support Farm to School in NE!
The Mountain Plains Crunch Off is a multi-state celebration of Farm to School Month. States throughout the Mountain Plains Region compete to see which State can get the most “crunches” into a local apple, or other local produce, per capita.
Nebraska was the 2019 and 2020 Crunch Off winner, with more registrations per capita than any other state - let's win again in 2021!
Schools, organizations, farmers, parents, community members and local food enthusiasts can register their team and crunch into a local fruit or veggie at the same time in celebration of local food and farm to school programs.
