We believe that the exposure and exploration of food, in both mealtime and non-mealtime settings, supports this relationship in a positive way.
And so, we create activities, resources and programs to support children’s exploration of food, at home and school.
We regular post articles for families and educators . Recipes, interviews, stories, gardening and cooking. Informative and investigative posts.
We run weekly programs at our children's community garden, The Golden Grove. This is for children aged 0-12 years. We are located on the Central Coast, NSW.
