Dear Name:    


About a year ago you took part in a producer training focused on farm to school sales and other activities. We are reaching out to you in hopes that you can help us examine the impact of the farm to school trainings you participated in.


The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. It asks questions primarily about your sales to schools.


The survey questions focus on schools that are Pre-K (also known as pre-school and early care education) through 12th grade only.


As we described in the workshop and on your consent form, your participation is voluntary, but we encourage your input. You do not need to answer any questions you do not want to and may stop at any time. In addition, all responses will be confidential. We are independent evaluators tasked with evaluating the impact of the trainings. As such, the coordinators of your trainings (NCAT and NFSN) will not be able to view your individual answers, but rather the aggregate responses from participants.


As a token of appreciation for finishing the surveys, we will enter your name into a drawing to win $25 (20 individuals will win).


If you would prefer to complete a paper version of the survey, you can request a copy by contacting Lydia Oberholtzer at 301-891-0470 or [email protected].


We appreciate your time!  Thank you
