This case study explores The Common Market's partnership with five New Jersey school districts and Austin Independent School District and their innovative approaches to food service, which increased healthy food access and participation in meal programs, while supporting small to mid-scale family farms.

Buy Local

"Often as a chef and manager, trying to buy local has been at the least a pain. Building a relationship with The Common Market has completely changed that experience. I know that the product I am buying is local down to the farm where it was grown. I am able to let the students know the people who grow their food so that they feel a real connection to those farmers. I look forward to a long and growing relationship with the Common Market."
— Allen Clark, Food Service Director, Sage Dining Services, Mount Vernon Presbyterian School
