In this special episode recorded at the National Farm to Cafeteria Conference in Albuquerque, Michelle and Guest Host Christy Sherding sat down with the “Old Guard” of the Farm to School movement — Leaders whose vision and persistence helped shape school food into what it is today. From Detroit to Minneapolis and beyond, these leaders have spent decades planting seeds of change, building gardens in unexpected places, and transforming cafeterias into classrooms of nourishment and equity. Their stories remind us that innovation often begins with courage, collaboration, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. Join us as we honor their legacy, celebrate their impact, and explore how their wisdom continues to guide the next generation of farm to school champions.
