What Our 2025 Attendees Are Saying

“First time attending, and I plan on returning next year! An amazing experience. I learned more about the importance of school gardens and about farm-to-school connections. I’m taking excellent resources and information back to my school…the conference exceeded my expectations.”

“People and planning were both excellent, and I would seek to attend this conference even if I transitioned to a different position for some reason. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend attending to anyone with a stake in Farm to School.”

“The conference was wonderful. All the sessions were very informative. It was very nice to meet stakeholders from growers to teachers to food and nutrition department staff. There were a lot of valuable pieces that I will bring back to our district that will enhance our Farm to School efforts.”

Tours Farm 2025 te pote pou ou pa:

Tour Farm A: 4Roots Farm Campus

Ekip 4Roots te envite patisipan Konferans yo vizite Kanpis Fèm yo, kote nou te aprann misyon, pwogram, inisyativ dirabilite 4Roots ak pratik agrikilti rejeneratif yo.

Patisipan yo te jwenn yon apèsi de chanm kote yo fè jaden dènye modèl yo, ki ekipe ak nèf diferan sistèm inovatè k ap grandi, ki gen ladan yon sistèm akwaponik ki fèt pou imite lanati.

Nou te ale nan yon forè manje, ki gen plis pase 100 varyete plant yo ka manje, kote ekip 4Roots la demontre prensip pèmakilti ki amelyore tè a ak sante ekosistèm yo.

4Roots Mobile Market la te sou plas tou pou patisipan yo te achte pwodui ak machandiz fre Florida!

Tour Farm B: Southern Hill Farms

Patisipan yo te fè yon toune nan Southern Hill Farms pou edikasyon ak eksperyans agrikòl amizan! Southern Hill Farms se yon fèm agritouristik familyal ki gen 120 kawo tè k ap grandi mitiy, frèz, mir, pèch, legim sezon, tounsòl ak zinnia nan sezon respektif yo, ansanm ak mitiy ak frèz rekòlte pou komès. Yo te rekòlye mitiy yo pou rezon komèsyal sèlman, jiskaske yo louvri fèm nan pou kominote yo jwi li an 2014.

Jodi a, Southern Hill Farms se yon destinasyon yo renmen anpil nan Clermont ak nan zòn Greater Orlando, li akeyi envite pou sezon ivè ak prentan sezon pou keyi yo ak festival otòn anyèl yo. Southern Hill Farms ofri kominote a yon chans pou konnen fèm lokal yo epi renmen kiltivatè lokal yo.
