Partners

New York State is fortunate to have many organizations, agencies, and groups, from within New York and throughout the country, involved in making farm to school connections start and grow.

The New York State Farm to School Coordinating Committee is a partnership of many of these groups. The Committee provides statewide leadership for farm to school initiatives, establishes and implements short- and long-term goals, identifies needs, and develops strategies for making sustainable farm-school connections. For more information about the committee, contact committee Chair and Food Service Director for the Johnson City School District, Ray Denniston, via email at: RDenniston@jcschools.stier.org.
