October 1, 2026 2:00PM - 3:00PM

We know that when institutions buy and serve local foods, they support local producers, strengthen the economy, and promote healthy eating.
Site visits are an impactful way to help decision-makers better understand your efforts and how their decisions can help support it—whether your goal is to raise awareness, show progress, or advocate for change.
In this 60-minute, interactive workshop, participants will walk through the steps to planning and hosting a site visit with policymakers. You will have a chance to test out an approach for identifying your goals, designing the experience.
This workshop is accompanied by the Good Food for Michigan written guide: "Invitation for Impact: How To Host Policymaker Site Visits."
This workshop is free, but registration is required.
The project is a partnership between institutions, farmers, food distributors, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Department (MDARD), the Center for Good Food Purchasing, and Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems.
