Our educator will come to your classroom to lead your students through a 75-minute lesson focused on a seasonally available, locally-grown fruit or vegetable. Students will become junior chefs by practicing basic cooking skills and working together to prepare a quick and simple tasty snack using the featured ingredient. Beyond the recipe, we'll explore where the fruit or vegetable comes from, from the soil to the plate, helping kids connect with our local food system and understand how these foods fuel their bodies.
