Colorado Resources for Beginner Farmers

Colorado Agricultural Development Authority (CADA) Beginner Farmer Loan

Federal guidelines required that all schools participating in federal school meal programs establish Wellness Policies prior to the 2006-07 school year. These policies are to address nutrition, nutrition education, and physical activity. Since they must include public participation, they present a great opportunity for community involvement in all three areas.

Farm to School - Website Resources (more to come)

These are some of the most useful website resources for Farm to School and related community food system information.

The Sustainability Alliance has been a prime supporter of local Farm to School efforts since the program began in 2005.  With the exception of the Minutes of the Farm to School meetings from 2005-2010, resources are now posted on the Healthy Community Food Systems Farm to School page.
