3 Green Mountain Farm-to-School Sowing Seeds: School Garden for All Organization Overview Green Mountain Farm-to-School's (GMFTS) mission is to restore and strengthen local food systems in Vermont by promoting positive economic and educational relationships between schools, farms, and communities. Our vision is to build local food systems in Vermont that promote environmental stewardship, create sustainable local economies, and nurture the health and wellbeing of our children and our communities. Over the last five years, GMFTS has grown from a single school garden program to a nonprofit organization providing comprehensive Farm to School services for 24 schools in five school districts in northern Vermont, benefiting over 5,000 students. GMFTS has three full-time staff and four full-time AmeriCorps volunteers. The organization has a ten member Board of Directors who serve on a volunteer basis, represent a diversity of backgrounds, and live and work in the organization s service area. GMFTS current operating budget for FY is $253,550 Project Description: We believe that school gardens can play a critical role in changing the way children eat and think about food. School gardens produce food for the school cafeteria and ensure that every student, regardless of his or her socioeconomic group, has access to fresh, nutritious foods. In addition, when students participate in growing, harvesting, and preparing foods, they are more likely to try new foods and make healthy food choices. Over the past two years, GMFTS worked with over 800 students to plant and harvest 20 schools gardens, produce over 4,500 pounds of food, and learn about healthy food choices through our Sprouts After-School Program. As a result of our success to-date, we are witnessing a greater demand for our services, one beyond our current capacity. Many of the requests for our services now come from beyond a geographically feasible direct service area; to respond to this demand, we need to adapt our current program model to serve schools and children at a distance. Through this project, GMFTS will document and disseminate our Sprouts Program model so that more schools have a school garden and more children have access to fresh, healthy foods. Between July 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013, we will take the sets of lessons and procedures which we have developed and bundle them into a toolkit for distribution. To launch the program at new schools, we will develop and lead a series of trainings for volunteers to lead the Sprouts After-School Program. After piloting the training, we will revise and edit the toolkit, making the final version available for a broader audience in print and in a free, downloadable web-based format. By working with schools where an average of 50% or more of the students qualify for free or reduced price school meals, GMFTS will continue to partner with schools that indicate a strong need for improved child nutrition and increased access to fresh, nutritious foods. We will pilot the program at five schools (one in Essex, one in Orleans, two in Caledonia, and one in Washington), benefiting over 2,000 children. Schools will be selected based on a variety of criteria including: interest in the program, readiness, demographic, location, size, and availability of volunteer support. Green Mountain United Way ~ Letter of Intent Page 3
4 This project will enhance our ability to deliver services at our current schools, support program replication at other schools, and create the tools and resources so that school garden programs in Vermont and beyond can implement programs based on best practices Project Outcomes: 1. School garden programs in Vermont and beyond will have the tools and resources they need to implement school garden programs based on best practices. 2. Children will eat a greater amount of fresh, nutritious foods through their school food program. 3. Children will increase their knowledge of nutrition, healthy lifestyle choices, and gardening. Priority Area This project directly addresses GMUW s Healthy Living priority area by increasing access to healthy, affordable foods at schools, providing nutrition education programs, and increasing community awareness about the consequences of obesity and the benefits of healthy eating. GMFTS is addressing hunger and food insecurity in areas with the greatest need. GMFTS partners with schools that indicate a strong need for improved child nutrition and increased access to fresh, nutritious foods. By working at schools where an average of 50% or more of students qualify for free or reduced price meals and 38% of children are overweight or at risk of being overweight, GMFTS can target these children at an age when life-lasting behaviors are formed. Through the Sprouts Program, students make direct connections between their health and the foods they consume. Students become informed consumers and gain the knowledge and skills they need to grow and prepare low-cost, nutritious foods. Project Budget The total project cost is $29,550. Other funding sources include: Green Mountain Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, Frances R. Dewing Foundation, Ben & Jerry s Foundation, program service fees from schools, fundraising events, individual contributions, and corporate support. The program receives in-kind contributions of seeds, seedlings, compost, and gardening supplies from High Mowing Seeds, local greenhouses, and area farms. The total cost per student for the program is $15. Funding from Green Mountain United Way will support the staff, supplies, equipment, and stipends necessary to train volunteers to launch new school garden programs. Partner Roles Local schools will assemble a Garden Committee with representation from the adminstration, teachers, food service staff, parents, and other community members to oversee the Sprouts Program. All schools provide in-kind services such as garden space, classroom space, utilities, and kitchen use. After-School Programs provide in-kind support for the Sprouts Program including staff time for evaluation, adminstrative support, outreach to students, and program coordination. Community volunteers provide essential support to the program including serving as Program Leaders, helping to till the gardens, and providing summer garden maintenance.
