Florida Farm Connect – Pou Lekòl
Find Florida-Grown Foods and Farm to School Partners
Florida Farm Connect is your gateway to discovering farmers, distributors, food hubs, processors, and other partners that can help bring Florida-grown foods to your students. Designed for schools and districts, this interactive platform makes it easy to identify local sourcing opportunities, explore agricultural education partnerships, and build relationships across Florida’s Farm to School network.
While anyone can browse the directory, creating a school profile allows producers and other partners to discover your school’s needs and connect with you directly. You can share your unique procurement needs, delivery preferences, and more, while increasing opportunities to build meaningful partnerships that support student nutrition and education.

How Farmers Use Florida Farm Connect to Support You
Farmers and producers use Florida Farm Connect to find schools interested in purchasing local foods and engaging in Farm to School activities. By participating in the platform, you can increase opportunities for meaningful connections with local producers and help create pathways to bring more Florida-grown foods and agricultural experiences to your students.
How Distributors Can Help
Successful Farm to School partnerships often take more than a direct connection between a farm and a school. Distributors, food hubs, processors, and other supply chain partners can help address challenges related to aggregation, processing, storage, transportation, and delivery. By connecting with these partners through Florida Farm Connect, schools can help bridge gaps between farm and cafeteria, creating additional opportunities to source Florida-grown foods while meeting your unique operational needs.
