The 8th Massachusetts Farm & Sea to School Conference will take place on Wednesday, March 18th. It will bring together nearly 300 farm to school advocates from diverse backgrounds such as food service, education, food distribution, farms, and advocacy, to advance a strong and vibrant local food system. Participants will learn new tools and develop new connections to expand food education and local food in school meals. The conference will feature interactive workshops, facilitated discussions, an exhibitor hall, field trips and pre-conference party (on Tuesday, March 17th), and many networking opportunities.
Come prepared to learn, connect, and act. This year’s conference will feature an engaging mix of sessions, as well as hands-on activity stations. Pre-conference field trips will offer the opportunity to see farm & sea to school programs in action. The pre-conference party will provide space to celebrate and network with friends and colleagues.
