Monthly hands-on cooking resources provide children with tools to explore, prepare and try fruit and vegetable snacks!

Nine out of 10 children in the U.S.  don't eat the recommended amount of vegetables. And,some children sometimes go days without eating a single vegetable. 

But it doesn’t have to be that way!

When children have the opportunity to prepare and taste fruits and vegetables -  they will not only like them, they will love them! 

We believe that teaching kids about fruits and vegetables is not just about health - it’s about discovering food in all of its wonder: how it’s grown, what it looks and smells like, and how to prepare a simple recipe. 

Our vision is that every child receives the opportunity to discover, eat and love fruits and vegetables.
