Welcome to the Michigan Farm to Program Directory!
The Farm to Program Directory is a searchable database of both suppliers and buyers of Michigan-grown products. This directory was developed by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and its partners to make it easier for food program operators to procure and serve Michigan fresh produce in schools, childcare centers, and community service agencies across the state, and to help Michigan farmers and food suppliers connect with Child Nutrition Program customers. Find more information below about how your business or organization can be listed in this directory.
