Florida Farm Connect – For Distributors
Help Connect Florida Farms and Schools
Distributors play an important role in getting Florida-grown foods from farms to cafeterias. While schools and farmers often want to work together, challenges like aggregation, processing, storage, packaging, and distribution can make those partnerships difficult to establish and maintain.
That’s where you come in.
Florida Farm Connect’s Distributor Directory helps schools and farmers, distributors, food hubs, processors, and aggregators find one another and build stronger Farm to School supply chains across the state. By joining the directory, you can increase your visibility among farms and schools seeking supply chain partners, showcase your services, and create new opportunities to connect with Florida’s Farm to School network.
