Join the 2020 Great Apple Crunch to celebrate Michigan farmers, healthy kids, and strong communities this October.
Participating in the Crunch is simple: buy, serve, and Crunch into locally grown apples! Since 2014, we have highlighted National Farm to School Month with MILLIONS of Crunches across the region. We know the Crunch will look different this year AND we are still excited to creatively Crunch together. Register your Crunch to make it official, add to the Crunch count, get the scoop on serving local apples during COVID-19, and receive the Crunch Guide. Everyone is invited to Crunch to reach our goal of TWO MILLION CRUNCHES this year.
Noon on Thursday, October 8, 2020 is the official Crunch date, but we welcome your Crunch any time this fall. No event is too small to register! If your Crunch is not hosted by a school or organization, skip any questions that don't apply to you.

The Detroit Food 2020 summit looks with intention toward what Detroit Food could, should, and will be in "Visions of a Food Future." How do and will the vision of a food system guided by culture, economics, and wellness continue to take shape? What could, should, and will the Detroit Food System be?
This summit marks the tenth summit, and we will celebrate past work, frame current needs and explore the possibilities. We look to honor Reverend Dr. JoAnn Watson for her championing the creation of the Detroit Food Policy Council, review the city's food policy from the establishment of the council to the present and examine the direction of food.
