10.14.2025 What Makes a Pickle?! • Kids Cooking Challenge Registration is Open
| What Makes a Pickle?! Continuing the theme “GROWing Curious Minds: Where does our food come from, how do we prepare it and how do we access it in our community?” students learned all about food preservation in their second garden lesson. Humans have been preserving food throughout history. During this garden lesson we explored different ways to make our garden harvests last. Students sampled dried cranberries during the lesson. Then they had to practice patience with the recipe they made and took back to their classroom. One week later they were able to enjoy their pickled garden harvest!     Kids Cooking Challenge Registration is Open! Everyone wins when you combine great kids with fun and fresh produce! Put your skills to the test in the Kids Cooking Challenge, which will kick off with the Mystery Ingredient pick-up on November 13th.
