Participants will learn:

  • how Farm-to-CACFP efforts big and small, can be successfully implemented in a variety of settings;
  • how early exposure to gardening, farming, and local foods can benefit young eaters;
  • where to find free Team Nutrition materials focused on garden-based nutrition education that can be used in early care and education sites; and
  • how  California-based North Bay Children’s Center’s Garden of Eatin, program is helping to change the way children think about food through hands-on experiences

Certificates of participation will be provided for those who attend the entire webinar. The webinar will be recorded and made available at a later date on the Team Nutrition and USDA Farm to School websites.
