000139456 520__ $$aFarm to institution (FTI) is a movement which aims to increase procurement of locally grown
foods by institutions such as schools, colleges, hospitals, senior meal sites, and correctional facilities.
FTI provides an opportunity for farmers by expanding their markets, for buyers by meeting
demand for fresh, locally grown food, and for distributors by meeting buyers’ demands and expanding
their network of suppliers. Previous research has discussed the importance of the story
of the food in creating connections between farmers and consumers, yet it becomes difficult to
communicate this story as supply chains lengthen. This study focuses on institutional procurement
of fresh fruits and vegetables in Vermont. Face to face, semi-structured interviews were
conducted with 19 supply chain actors (farmers, distributors, food hubs and buyers). We find that
providing the story has both value and cost, with costs often being borne with those least able to
afford them.
