Good marks for Farm to School

Forum looks at successes, challenges

GREENFIELD — The nationwide Farm to School project is showing results here in Franklin County.
“I feel the local food revolution started here in Western Mass. We’re modeling for the state and the nation new ways to support our communities,” said Kelly Erwin, managing consultant of the Massachusetts Farm to School Project at Saturday’s Farm to School Forum at Greenfield Middle School.
The forum brought together school food-service directors, farmers, food producers and educators to discuss the benefits and obstacles associated with serving local food in schools.
