At MMUUSD, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to connect with the land, learn about local food systems, and grow into healthy, compassionate people. We are committed to providing students with nutritious, locally sourced foods while strengthening the local food community. By integrating food and land education into our classrooms, we empower students to make informed, values-based choices that sustain their well-being, our community, and the health of the earth.
Farm to School Initiatives
K-4 Taste Test Program
District-wide Taste Testing days at all elementary schools bring the freshness and excitement of new, local farm-fresh foods to all students! We follow the Vermont Harvest of the Month Calendar.
Vermont Harvest of the Month is a program run by Food Connects, with support from VT FEED, Green Mountain Farm to School, and Vital Communities to promote seasonal eating, encourage healthy diets, and support the local economy. We provide ready-to-go materials for the classroom, cafeteria, and community that promote the use of local, seasonal Vermont foods.
Meal Accounts & Online Payments
Please take advantage of the options to prepay your student's meal accounts. Prepaid meal accounts help the lunch lines go faster, giving students more time to eat, relax, and play.
Important Note: All student meals are currently
free of charge. However, students who opt for
milk only will be charged
$0.75 per milk.
It is still highly necessary for eligible families to complete the
Free and Reduced Meal Application, as this enables our district to claim critical reimbursements from federal and state funds.
Online Payments (2024-25 School Year)
We have upgraded our lunch system software to include dietary information on our menus and process payments. You will need to register in this new portal.
Go to Linq Connect Portal
- After registering, add students to your account using the dropdown menu on the right side of the dashboard.
- Student ID Required: You will need your student's ID. If you do not know it, please contact Wendy Garrapy at [email protected].

- Note: There is a $2.60 service fee per online transaction.
Send Check or Cash
To avoid online fees, you can pay via cash or check at your student’s respective school. Place funds in an envelope clearly marked with:
