Date & Time
Tuesday, April 14, 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Description

Discover how farm to school strategies can enrich afterschool and summer programs by connecting youth to healthy, locally-grown food and hands-on learning. This interactive session will introduce the core elements of farm to school and explore how they can be adapted for out of school time settings. Participants will learn from real Indiana examples, engage in practical activity ideas, and leave with ready-to-use resources to get started. The session will also highlight key support systems, including the Indiana Grown for Schools Network (IGFSN), which offers resources, training, and connections to local producers and partners. Whether you're a program leader, educator, or community partner, this session offers inspiration and tools to grow wellness and community connections through local food.
