Tots Cooking! Classes (ages 2 - 8)

Class 4: Tomato Tasting

August 3rd: Tomato Tasting! Learn your herbs, go on a tomato scavenger hunt around the farm & season your treasures with a flavor sensation.

Tots Cooking! is a fun, hands on weekly workshop dedicated to providing Moms/Grannys/ Dads/ Caregivers a fun, quality time with their child as well as the opportunity to learn first-hand where food comes from, and incorporate delicious, healthy food into their diet. Your child will practice a great variety of fine motor skills, such as mixing, measuring, pouring, weighing, stirring and mashing while learning about life on the farm, making new friends and experiencing new tastes.

Each class begins with a harvest tour of the farm, where we will all gather the things we need and learn about how they were produced. Then we’ll bring them back to the Farm Market and turn them into delectable delicacies – while you learn simple ways to incorporate fresh, farm-to-table eating at home. NOTE: all recipes are vegetarian, and we can accommodate vegan or other diets in most classes. Just ask!
