Farm to early care and education (Farm to ECE) is a collection of strategies for connecting young children to healthy food. This is an extension of the farm to school movement, focusing on the specific learning styles, needs and environments in which young children learn and grow. Farm to ECE has been shown to flourish in a variety of early learning environments with three core elements: food education, gardening, and local food procurement.
We are currently seeking partners to become trained in a three-part series that they will lead locally, supporting ECE providers in launching and growing their farm to ECE initiatives. Read more about the three trainings below.
Limited space. Must be qualified trainer to participate.
