Additional Farm to School and Community Resources
Gallatin Valley Farm to School is just one part of a wider movement to make healthy, local food available to all. Here are some of our favorite resources.
Virtual Resources
Gallatin Valley Farm to School’s virtual learning resources are free, hands-on for kids and families alike, and can be used at home or in the classroom.
Where to Find Local Food
Most farms have online ordering and easy pick-up options for a wide variety of local products, including vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, canned foods, and more. We are incredibly lucky to live in a valley with so many hard-working farmers and producers and now is a great time to support them!
View Bozeman’s Local Food Guide for the most up to date information on how to stock up on fresh local products.
Check out AERO MT’s Abundant Montana Map and Directory to find a farmer, product, farmers’ market, or restaurant connected to our local Montana food system.
