Formerly the Farm to School District of the Year Awards, this year’s contest is expanding to recognize K-12 schools, early care centers, and family day cares that are going above and beyond to serve and promote local foods!
The highest-scoring entry in each of three categories will receive the Cream of the Crop Award—the ultimate recognition for your dedication to Minnesota grown and raised food! Awards will be given for:
- School District of the Year
- Early Care Center of the Year
- Family Day Care of the Year.
Eligibility Criteria
- K-12 school districts, early care centers, and family day cares must be located in Minnesota. Eligible applicants include public and private school districts.
- For K-12 school districts, entries should represent the promotional efforts of a school district, not an individual school. Districts with several schools are encouraged to submit photos and information that capture the breadth of their schools’ promotional efforts.
