Join us this Saturday for a discussion with IATP fellow JoAnne Berkenkamp 1-3 
pm at St Dominic's. JoAnne will be presenting about Farm-to-School programs and 
will lead a discussion about what works, what needs work, and help us think 
through what we need to do to make a program like this work in our community. 
(theme?? It'll take work.) Also present will be local farmers who have engaged 
in some farm-to-school transactions.

Local foods potluck preceding JoAnne's talk; starts at 12 noon.

FREE and OPEN to the public. Sponsored by Sustainable Farmers Association.

Peace--Angel

Learn How to Sell Food From Your Farm to Your Local School 


Join the Cannon River SFA Chapter on Saturday, Jan. 29 from noon to 5 p.m. at 
St. Dominic's Church in Northfield as JoAnne Berkenkamp from the Institute of 
Agriculture and Trade Policy shares her experiences with successful Farm To 
School programs in Minnesota. Berkenkamp’s conversation starts at 1 p.m., 
following a local-foods potluck that starts at noon. She'll discuss both the 
policies and pragmatics of schools buying food directly from farmers and 
farmers selling food directly to schools. Joining Berkenkamp will be area 
farmers and school foodservice folks who have worked with each other. Learn 
what has worked and what has not worked for school districts and farmers. 
Following the presentation will be a Q & A and networking session.

The Cannon River SFA Chapter will hold their annual meeting at 3:30 p.m. 
following the Farm To School program. Electing officers and planning activities 
for 2011 are up for discussion.

This event is free to the public but please RSVP to kzeman [at] kmwb.net or
