Farm to School Legal Toolkit

Working with institutional buyers and providing farm fresh foods to new markets is an exciting opportunity. However, entering into a new business arrangement with a school as a local farm can be a daunting task. What are the relevant laws around distributing to schools? What are the necessary steps to secure a contract to provide produce to a school? The Farm to School Legal Toolkit from The Food and Beverage Law Clinic  (FBLC) at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, in partnership with Common Ground Farm, seeks to help answer your legal questions on farm to school and present options available to you when starting a new farm to school venture.
