Webinar with Madeline Lasell, Department of State Health Services

Farm to ECE deepens young children’s connection to nature through food, gardening, and local agriculture. This introductory session explores how hands-on, sensory-rich experiences can bring these connections to life in early learning settings. Whether you’re in a rural or municipal setting, you’ll discover practical ways to integrate Farm to ECE into your existing routines – even without additional funding.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify simple strategies to begin implementing Farm to ECE, engage children in food-based learning using the five senses, and recognize how existing resources, including CACFP funds, can support Farm to ECE activities.
