Farm To Table

NM Apple Council To Sell To Schools

 

In 2007-2008 the NM Apple Council sold apples and fruit to the following school districts:  Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), Santa Fe and Taos.  Other school districts across the state have agreed to participate in purchasing apples, fruit and other vegetables from growers.  The only growers who can sell to these schools must meet the adopted guidelines established previously by the NM Apple Council.  The guidelines are based on a point system.  Points are accumulated for the following: 

  • Be a member in good standing

  • Attendance at meetings and work-shops

  • Attendance at a GAP workshop (Good Agricultural Practices)

  • No Violations of By-laws
