More about the programs - We also have a popular tasting program for pk to 3rd grade that we call Garden Parties(that could involve dressing up as veggies for a skit). In-school programs bring a bit of the farm to schools and help teach students about where their food comes from, about nutrition and connect food and farms to ELA, social studies, science and other academic areas.
