Farm to school / Farm to preschool training templates

Farm to school / Farm to preschool training templates
The National Farm to School Network (NFSN) is excited to release a set of new farm to school and farm to preschool training materials developed by and for key stakeholder groups including farmers, child nutrition directors, educators and early care providers. Each training template consists of a customizable slide deck, speaker notes, handouts and an evaluation form. Use these tools to conduct more effective trainings and share the value of farm to school in communities across the country. The materials were developed by the Peer Leadership Network, a group of 18 experienced farm to school and preschool practitioners convened in 2013 by NFSN.
