Storytelling, drama, song, and art accompany a bountiful selection of fresh food. Our educators create dishes in the classroom, engaging children in the preparation and the processing of food, and inspiring them with wonderful tasting food and snacks. We offer four seasonal units about whole foods and sustainable agriculture. We teach in grades K-8. Most lessons last 55 minutes and include a presentation, whole-class and individual activities, and a tasting component.Expenses $161,741 · revenue $37,825
