Local Food for Schools

Local Food for Schools

Through the USDA Local Food for Schools (LFS) Cooperative Agreement, OSPI purchased 23 unprocessed and minimally processed foods from local producers and made them available at no cost to Washington schools in the 2023-24 School Year. Washington LEAs operating the National School Lunch Program and participating in the USDA Foods program can order LFS foods once per month during the Surplus Order Window. 

The program helps local producers and decreases the logistical burden of Farm to School activities.
