Celebrate the changing seasons through hands-on food exploration! The Farm to Fun series invites children and families to discover where food comes from by touching, tasting, creating, and experimenting with fresh, seasonal produce. Each program highlights a featured fruit or vegetable through playful STEM activities, sensory experiences, simple cooking, art, and open-ended exploration. Whether peeling, smelling, building, tasting, or investigating, children will build curiosity, confidence, and healthy relationships with food while having fun together.
