Bill overview
This bill establishes a pilot program to increase the amount of food purchased for state-run institutions, like schools and hospitals, from local farms. The goal is to support Massachusetts farmers, improve access to fresh, healthy food for students and patients, and strengthen the state’s agricultural economy. The program will test different ways to connect farms with institutions and assess the feasibility of expanding farm-to-institution purchasing statewide. It’s designed as a trial run to see how effectively this model can be implemented.
