Away We Grow Program 

At Each Event,

we host a class where kids will explore the green house, grocery store as well as kitchen

by shopping and preparing different healthy foods by themselves. 

 ​​​

• This class: 

  • This class is designed for Ages 4 – 7 but can be flexible based on request.

  • This can be a drop off event, but you are welcome to stay and enjoy the fun.

• Class Layout:

  • During our time, the kids will visit the green house to check on their plants and will receive a fresh herb from our stand. Then we will have a scavenger hunt through the grocery store for the remainder of our ingredients and will finish in the kitchen area to prepare some dishes for the kids to eat for lunch.

• Our overall theme is an Introduction to Cooking, How to prepare your own food with minimal baking needed and how to make them in a healthy way! Our Instructors will cover the following some of the following topics:​

  • Nutritional Information 

  • Food handling, allergens, dietary restrictions

  • Specific cooking techniques 

  • Measurements and conversions

  • Knife skills (ex. chop, julienne, dice, brunoise, batonnet)

​

What to Bring for Class 

​

• Smock / T-shirt / Apron - We will be playing with food. Incase we do not ruin our clothes, WE HAVE APRONS AVAILABLE, but you are welcome to bring one as well.  

• Towel - To save a couple of tree's we ask that your child bring a drying cloth so they can wipe off their hands when they are preparing food. 

• Open Attitude - We are going to be trying a lot of new things so having an open mind and understanding is key for us to have fun! 

• Closed Toe Shoes - No matter what time of year it is, students are required to wear closed-toe shoes (crocks and keens are acceptable as long as they have their toes covered)

• Hair must be pulled back neatly. We do not want to eat our hair! 

• To Go Bag - to take any goodies home with you!

What they Will take Away

​

• Our Techniques and skills will be taught during class, but to truly benefit, students should practice the skills at home to create necessary muscle memory and improve the skills. Practicing will help them create a strong foundation of habit and knowledge.

• Each week, the students will make their own recipes. They will try them in class, but will bringing their creations home as well. 

• They will also receive all recipe cards 

• The younger kids will also get their own chef hats
