The following project was developed at the 6th Annual Stinner Summit, held October 5th in Athens Ohio (find the writeup on the Summit here).  This group will be used to help networking, collaboration and communication on the project.  Hope you'll be able to assist with this great project in some way.

Farm to School Revival project, checking in

I'm just checking in on the "Farm to School Revival" project proposed at the 6th Annual Stinner Summit.  Matt at Rural Action (matt@ruralaction.org) was on our list as the one who could manage the fiscal side of this via Rural Action, and we'll need to get him subscribed here.  We have gone over the procedures with the OARDC Business Office and I think we're ready to make the funds flow.  Let us know what the status and plans are and if we can help in some way we'll try to make it happen.  

Best wishes for your work,

Casey
