Wyoming Farm to School offers a variety of resources for school districts, schools, childcare centers, producers, and others across Wyoming to help them develop and sustain successful farm-to-school partnerships. In 2023, the Wyoming Department of Education hired a state Farm to School coordinator thanks to a USDA grant (see National section about the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program). The grant runs through September 2026.

Among the goals is for the coordinator to foster relationships between Wyoming producers and the National School Lunch Program schools and participating childcare centers. As of September 2025, approximately 315 schools within 42 school districts across Wyoming participated in school nutrition programs, in addition to 57 childcare centers. Of these, 39 school districts (~70% of the districts in the state) and nearly 10 daycares were participating in the Wyoming Farm to School program, according to coordinator Bobby Lane.
