Trying new foods, especially fresh veggies, can be a challenge for any child. Tons of kids will argue that meals heavy in vegetables are boring or yucky... or both. We’re here to help!
Growing Roots at Sterling Farms believes that by giving kids the chance to grow, harvest, and prepare their own ingredients that it will inspire a lifelong love of gardening, cooking, and eating healthier foods. Every week we’ll guide kids through tending to and picking a variety of vegetables right from the vine. Then we’ll head to the on-site kitchen and work side-by-side with them in creating savory soups and cheesy veggie pizzas with our basket of fresh ingredients!
Your kids will learn all about:
Growing and harvesting a variety of vegetables, herbs, and even edible flowers
Why fresh ingredients are SO important to cooking healthy, delicious meals
How to use gardening and kitchen tools safely
What vegetables and herbs work well together, which don’t, and why you shouldn’t be afraid to get creative in the kitchen!
And so much more!
This is an awesome opportunity for your kids to get outside and involved in learning more about working with the earth and preparing meals in the kitchen. They might even come away with a new favorite vegetable and/or recipe!
