FOOD EXPLORATION
Together Laura and Heidi have created a program for any child; but especially perfect for any hesitant or picky eaters.
This 7-week program is perfect for your "picky eaters" to teach them about a hands-on farm to table experience and help them develop confidence with new foods. Join us on the farm for this great program!
Your child will:
-learn about a new seasonal food each week
-learn skills to becoming a confident eater
-explore food in fun ways with no pressure to eat
-cook/make something new each week
-become an adventurous eater!
​
You will have strategies to use at home to make your mealtimes less stressful!
