Farm to Early Care and Education: Growing Up with Local Food Farm to early care and education (ECE) is a group of activities that support young children in early child care settings to grow, choose, and eat nutritious local foods. Farm to ECE can be an integral part of child care, influencing the ways child care providers obtain local food (procurement), and use gardening activities and nutrition and agriculture education activities.
