Drive for 25 gives mini grants to local farms to provide food for local schools

For local farmers, selling produce to school cafeterias can be difficult.
The health requirements are stringent, and school kitchens are used to at
least semi-processed ingredients. But now farms can get funding to do some
of the cleaning and processing directly, through mini grants.

The mini grants are a subset of the Drive for 25 Farm to School grant,
started in 2016 by the Adirondack North Country Association, with funding
obtained by Assemblywoman Addie A.E. Jenne, D-Theresa.
