NC Farm to ECE Institute

Following the success of the inaugural Farm to ECE Institute and thanks to the continued support of PNC Bank, the NC Farm to Early Care and Education (ECE) Initiative hosted its second Farm to ECE Institute for Farm to ECE administrators and teachers, technical assistance providers, farmers and Extension agents on Oct. 21, 2023, at the Rocky Mount Event Center. Find details below about the 2024 Farm to ECE Institute.

Launched in 2016 by the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, the NC Farm to ECE Initiative enhances the health and education of young children by developing systems and experiential learning opportunities that connect children and their families with local food and farms. It encompasses activities in ECE environments that incorporate local foods through meals and snacks, taste tests, lessons, farmer visits, cooking, growing food and/or community and parent involvement.
