Kickoff National Farm to CACFP Week with us!
Farm to CACFP starts with practical, flexible approaches that can work in any program, regardless of region, season, or budget. Discover how root vegetables can serve as an easy entry point for connecting CACFP menus with local agriculture. Learn CACFP crediting basics, explore simple menu swaps, and participate in a guided menu lab featuring the Local Roots Menu. You'll leave with practical ideas and the confidence to adapt Farm to CACFP strategies using foods that are grown and available in your community.
1. Apply farm to CACFP principles to adjust a sample Local Roots Menu based on regional availability and budget considerations.
3. Analyze a sample Local Roots Menu and identify realistic substitutions using locally available, affordable ingredients.
