This is great--should be mandatory for all schools. I am trying to
get the middle school here to do a farmer's market. These kids are
surrounded by agriculture, yet have such a detached connection between
what they eat and what grows in the fields beside the schools.
Plenty of potential customers--including the cafeteria.

Has anyone had experience getting one started in a school??

PS I apologize for my numerous posts today--I'm catching up on old
email!! I won't be quite so active once it's done.
