Program Overview

Farm to School is a fundraising program that offers great profit margins for schools, licensed daycares or other organizations looking to raise funds. Your establishment keeps:

• $7.50 for every $15 vegetable bundle sold

That's 50% profits! These are great returns, but that’s not all!
