Since our launch in 2014, we at MFIN have been proud to share and promote the stories about farm to institution in action around the state. These are just a few of the farm to institution and good food stories that network members and supporters made happen in recent years:

• Beans on the Menu: A Surprising Twist on Traditional Fare
• Michigan Farm to Freezer Makes Local Produce Available All Year Long
• American House Senior Living Communities Celebrate Local Agriculture and Seasonal Meals
• YWCA of Kalamazoo Brings Fresh, Healthy Food to Little Ones
• Sparrow (Hospital) Hits a Cultivate Michigan Milestone
• Macomb County Pilots Regional Directory To Promote Local Food Purchasing in Schools

 

Join us at the upcoming MFIN gathering to hear more important stories from farm to institution practitioners, celebrate our collective progress to date, and help inform the future direction of our work beyond 2020!

 

Best,
