Nebraska Farm to School Network
The Nebraska Farm to School Network supports Farm to School and Early Care and Education (ECE) stakeholders in their work all over the state. We connect and support Farm to School efforts by providing resource sharing, training, and networking opportunities. As a new network (launched in the fall of 2024), we are small, but mighty! We want to continue to grow a diverse and committed network that supports kids and communities in Nebraska. New members make that possible! If you are interested in joining the network, click the button below to fill out our intake form.
Network membership is free and open to all. Prospective members are welcome to join at any time. Members may be individuals, organizations, or communities. The network offers a variety of ways for members to be engaged in the work of the network. Nebraska Farm to School Network members will experience the many benefits of membership including networking opportunities, celebration and recognition of farm to school success, and so much more!
