One-Bite Lessons

“One Bite Lessons” are edible activities that don’t require a kitchen or excessive preparation. They are fun and creative ways to sample plants right from the garden.

Taste Testing

Comparative taste tests provide an engaging, multi-sensory opportunity to encourage young people to try new fruits and vegetables.

Cooking with kids empowers children to prepare their own healthy snacks and make their own nutritional choices. It gives them a chance to see others enjoying healthy food, and provides time to discuss nutrition concepts and what makes some food or food prep techniques healthier than others.  Furthermore, cooking and eating is a wonderful way to explore different cultures and their flavorful cuisines and customs.
