The Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Education (MDA, MDE) invite school-based teams to apply to pilot the Minnesota Harvest of the Month (HOTM) program next school year. HOTM is a viable strategy to help successfully implement farm to school.

Program goals:

2. Support market development for local farmers

3. Provide connections between the cafeteria, classroom and community
