Join us at the National Farm to Cafeteria Conference, hosted by the National Farm to School Network. This annual national gathering brings together leaders working to advance equitable, local food access in schools, early care settings, and other community institutions. The conference offers hands-on workshops, educational sessions, field trips, and networking opportunities designed to support everyone involved in Farm to School and Farm to ECE work.

This event brings together food service professionals, farmers, educators, early childhood providers, policymakers, and advocates who are committed to strengthening local food systems and improving community health.

Featured Session

Hear from our Farm to Early Care Specialist, Edy Dingus, on the panel: “Growing Farm to School to ECE Settings: Learning from Diverse Statewide Approaches,” Tuesday, December 2, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM. Edy will join fellow Newman’s Own Foundation grantees to share insights, state-level strategies, and lessons learned for expanding Farm to School into early childhood education settings.

Join us to connect with other states, gain new tools and inspiration, and be part of shaping a more equitable, sustainable, and community-centered food system.
