Launched in 2026, the Michigan Farm to School and Early Care Network brings together years of work to support programs and people that buy local food, grow gardens, and teach children about food and farming.
The Michigan Farm to School and Early Care Network goals are:
- Improve access to local food
- Increase nutritional awareness and health outcomes
- Improve children’s learning environments

Parents, students, early childhood educators, teachers, food service staff, farm to school coordinators, administrators, farmers, food hubs, families, and supporting organizations are all important members! Parent participation is greatly encouraged!
