We've done something remarkable together. After nearly 20 years of building one of the nation's strongest farm to school movements, we're ready to plant the seeds for what comes next.
Oregon's 10 Year Strategic Vision for Farm to School (2025-2035) is now live, and it's unlike anything we've created before. This isn't just a plan on paper. It's a living, breathing roadmap hosted on our online platform, Farm to School Counts, where you can track our progress and read real stories of how programs and people across the state are connecting youth with local food and hands-on education while building community connections with food producers and students.

|
|
|
This plan continues the state's progress and partnership with a shared vision for the next decade with five interconnected goals that detail sample approaches and strategies to achieve these goals.
|
|
|
|
|
By aligning resources across public and private sectors, Oregon aims to equitable improve child health and well-being, support academic achievement, promote environmental resilience and invigorate the agricultural economy.
|
|
|
|
|
The strategic vision represents one of Oregon's most collaborative statewide efforts to date. Nearly 850 Oregonians reviewed the draft plan, and 155 provided 1,449 opinions and 288 comments. Your voices helped shape a vision that ensures taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, and programs remain durable, impactful, and inclusive.

OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
|
|
|
|
|
For 20 years, we've proven that when Oregonians work together — across party lines, across sectors, across communities — we can create something extraordinary. Farm to School isn't just about food on lunch trays. It's about kids who are healthier, farmers who are thriving, communities that are stronger, and an economy that works for everyone.
