Applications are now open for the 2022 Farm to School Canada Grants!
Offered in partnership with Whole Kids Foundation and delivered directly to schools, Farm to School Canada Grants are valued at up to $10,000 each and are designed to bring more healthy, local foods into school communities. They support hands-on food literacy, including growing, harvesting and cooking food at school; and school meal services, such as salad bars, that allow students to build their own bowls or create their own plates.
On November 22, 2021 F2CC held an instructional webinar to provide a step-by-step review of the grant application process. If you missed the Guide for applicants: 2022 Farm to School Canada Grants webinar you can find the recording here:
