Farm to Cafeteria Conference

Bringing healthy, locally sourced food to every cafeteria

10th National Farm to Cafeteria Conference

Scheduled for December 2-5, 2025* in Albuquerque, New Mexico!


The 10th National Farm to Cafeteria Conference is officially scheduled for December 2-5, 2025! Hosted by the National Farm to School Network, this conference is the premier event for anyone passionate about bringing local food to institutional settings and driving positive change in the food system. Whether you’re a food service professional, farmer, educator, policymaker, entrepreneur, or student, this conference offers invaluable opportunities to network, learn, and share knowledge with others who are shaping the future of food access and sustainability.

*We made an important date change to the conference, originally in June 2025, to December 2025. This change will give us the opportunity to make this conference even more dynamic, engaging, and impactful. We recognize that many of our partners are navigating shifting priorities, capacity challenges, and policy changes. Our goal is to ensure this conference remains a space for meaningful learning, opportunities to expand your network, and collective action—one that helps drive real change for farm to institution efforts nationwide.
