Minneapolis Public Schools is proud to partner with small to mid-size farms within 250 miles who are committed to using sustainable growing practices. We seek to support begining farms, farms in which families own or control decision making on the farm, and farms owned or operated by women, minority, and/or immigrant farmers.
Partner farms are selected through an annual, competitive bidding process. Farms, farm cooperatives, food hubs, and aggregators are currently invited to complete our Farm to School Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 2020-2021 school year:
