A Total garden – table – experience for kids ages 7 – 13. Students explore the dynamic spectrum of the food cycle through interactive cooking, gardening, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities lead by formally trained Chef, Garden, and Wellness Educators.
While cultivating confidence and memories, students engage with food to learn about seasonality, sustainability, ecology, international foods, nutrition, history, culture, health, and well-being.
Classes build upon each other to teach students essential kitchen skills, safety, culinary techniques, food experimentation, kitchen science, and formulas while tasting a wide variety of foods along the way. You buy classes in 4 class minimums.
You can use them consecutively which would work best however each class can be taken individually.
We believe in flexibility and hope you can get the most out of our curriculum by trying when possible to take classes in 4 class units over 4 weeks.
Please note each day of class is a different theme Tuesday – Thursday and provide a combination of cooking, gardening, and STEAM activities. Students always get to eat the fruits of their labor in each class.
