October is National Farm to School Month! Farm to school is a great practice, but did you know early care and education (ECE) programs can also participate in farm to ECE? Farm to ECE offers benefits that parallel the priorities of the early care and education community including emphasis on experiential learning opportunities, parent and community engagement and life-long health and wellness for children, families and caregivers. 

Our partners at the National Farm to School Network have great resources available to you to help celebrate Farm to School Month! This is also a great opportunity for you to get started with your farm to ECE journey!
