WSDA Farm-to-School Survey: Producers 2011 |
1. WSDA Farm-to-School Survey: Producers 2011
The Washington State Department of Agriculture Farm-to-School Program invites you to participate in this survey, which is being sent to farmers and agricultural producers in Washington. The WSDA Farm-to-School Program supports connections between farms and schools throughout the state. We also support connections to other institutions, including hospitals, prisons, child care and senior care programs.
Your input on this survey is critical to farm-to-school in Washington and we greatly appreciate your time. Providing your experience and perspective will inform the ways we evolve our program, policy initiatives, and funding priorities - we hope these will help support and advance your farm-to-school work. Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and valuable.
This survey has two main goals:
- Gathering baseline data of farm-to-school interest and participation in the state.
- Identifying areas of opportunity for farm-to-school program development at the state and local level, and to best assist farms in achieving their farm-to-school goals.
We are conducting a similar survey for school districts to identify farm-to-school supply chain needs on their end, and identify market opportunities for minimally processed, Washington grown foods.
Information from this survey will remain anonymous and will be used in summary reporting and/or journal articles. Completion of this survey constitutes informed consent for the WSDA Farm-to-School Program to use the aggregated information in these ways. We encourage you to provide contact information if you would like to be contacted by WSDA Farm-to-School staff and our WSDA Small Farm & Direct Marketing team partners for follow-up resources and support. We assure you this identifying information will not be associated with your responses in any reporting that may result from the survey.
We estimate that this survey will take between 15 and 25 minutes. You will be able to save your progress and return to the survey at any time.
Thank you again for your time, feedback, and help as we grow Farm-to-School in Washington.
