Farms to K is a group of Kalamazoo (Michigan) College students, faculty, administrators, and staff joined by local farmers, their Sodexho food-service manager, and the community advocacy group Fair Food Matters. They have been working since Fall 2005 to build relationships between the College and local farmers to increase the amount of locally-grown food served in our cafeteria and to develop and support the local food system while fostering sustainable agricultural practices and safe and fair working conditions.
