Iowa Farm to Summer Campaign:
The Iowa Farm to Summer Campaign is a statewide effort to promote summer meal sites by celebrating and serving local food throughout the summer months. Focusing on Iowa-grown, summer-ready veggies, the Iowa Farm to Summer Campaign works to increase youth participation at Iowa summer meal sites and support local farmers with new market opportunities.
Can my organization participate?
Participants are required to source local food from area producers. Sites are encouraged to share promotional materials and local food education with youth and partners.
Farm to Summer Campaign Toolkit was created by the Iowa Farm to School and Early Care Coalition. Use this resource to review recommendations for finding partners, promoting campaigns, and planning timelines.
