Indiana Grown for Schools Participation Survey
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture’s Indiana Grown Program (ISDA/IG) is gathering information as part of their involvement in a Farm to School grant and in partnership with Purdue Extension (PEX), Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). The information gathered will be collated into the Indiana Grown for Schools: School Food Service Resource Guide which will be distributed to all Indiana public school corporations once completed. Participation in the Indiana Grown for Schools: School Food Service Resource Guide survey is not a guarantee of sales and ISDA/IG, ISDH, PEX and IDOE are not responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit. This resource guide is voluntary and by no means will you be excluded in direct sales to schools by not participating.
