Farm to Early Care and Education is hosting a training to bring together N.C. Cooperative Extension Agents, early childcare workers, and Smart Start Technical Assistance members to explore a new market for small farmers, build educational gardens, and conduct local food preparation activities with children, educators and families.
Farm to ECE has many components for agents to plug in across program areas, improving the health of our youngest local food consumers, ages birth to 6. Learn about our newest Resource Guide from the Local Foods Program Team Farm to ECE Work Group to see how to get your program involved.
