Partridge Creek Farm, in partnership with Marquette-Alger RESA, and the MSU U.P. Research and Extension Center, are excited to announce that registration is now open for the upcoming 2025 Farm to School Institute.
The Farm to School Institute is a professional development opportunity designed to provide attendees with the knowledge, resources, and strategies necessary to implement successful farm-to-school initiatives in their communities. Through interactive workshops, hands-on sessions, and networking opportunities, participants will gain valuable insights into incorporating local food into school meals, integrating agriculture-based curriculum into classrooms, and fostering meaningful connections between students, food, and local producers.
