Build a true understanding where our food comes from and how our health and nutrition is affected by what we eat. We’ll engage all the senses while harvesting and washing vegetables and herbs in the field. We’ll chop veggies, make dressing and prepare a colorful salad to share.

We’ll also enjoy a farm fresh snack together to follow. This series is geared towards kids ages 5-12. Supplies and a farm-based snack provided for each workshop.

Registration required. Sign up for each workshop closes on the prior Wednesday by 9:00 pm.
