National Farm to Cafeteria Conference
The National Farm to Cafeteria Conference is the only national gathering of stakeholders from across the farm to cafeteria movement, making it a key opportunity to learn, network and collaborate with like-minded leaders from across the country. Hosted by the National Farm to School Network, the conference brings together food service professionals, farmers and food producers, educators, policy makers, youth leaders, representatives from nonprofits and government agencies, public health professionals and others to strengthen this national movement. Cafeterias in schools, universities, hospitals, childcare centers, corporate offices and prisons serve tens of millions of Americans each day, placing the farm to cafeteria movement at the forefront of efforts to grow healthier communities and strengthen local food systems.
The 10th National Farm to Cafeteria Conference is scheduled for June, 2025 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Request for proposals and registration information are coming soon in winter 2024.
