ASPHN IMPACT
FARMWISE just wrapped up its two-year grant program. Together, 13 outstanding state Farm to ECE coalitions increased local food procurement and expanded children’s access to healthy foods. The impact was remarkable. More than 350 farmers and food producers, 1,315 ECEs, and nearly 5,000 educators engaged to strengthen local food systems and foster lifelong healthy habits. Congratulations FARMWISE!
