In 2016, we named our first Massachusetts Farm to School, “Kale Blazers,” at our biennial Farm & Sea to School Conference. Going forward we have honored our Kale Blazers annually, as a way to celebrate all things Farm to School.

The Kale Blazer recognizes an individual or group of individuals who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in farm to school activity in Massachusetts. These are people or groups at the forefront of the farm to school movement – innovating and setting inspiring examples for others to learn from. 

As we seek to advance equity in the farm to school movement, we particularly want to recognize those individuals who are working to ensure that all students can enjoy local food in school meals and engaging food education.
