I recently participated in a Gorge Grown meeting, a Hood River Oregon Non-Profit organization supporting local organic farmers.  One of their initiatives is to get more of their organic foods into the Oregon schools, a farm to school initiative.  Do you have suggested contacts or suggestions on how they can make this happen?  When do you think we will see more funding for schools to buy organic products?
