FTK Conference Registration

The Minnesota Farm to Kids Conference will bring together educators, early care providers, school food service professionals, farmers and community partners to learn and connect with each other. Participants will exchange ideas that strengthen the three C’s of Farm to Kids (Community, Cafeteria, Classroom, and Cafeteria) to encourage cross pollination of ideas and collaboration of Farm to Kids across Minnesota.

Farm to Kids connects young people with local food and hands-on learning, while creating meaningful opportunities for farmers to sell their food to their community. In Minnesota, "Farm to Kids" brings together Farm to School and Farm to Early Care efforts to serve kids at every age, in both early care and K-12 settings, and strengthen our farming communities.

Join us for both or either day of the conference!
