Big Discoveries.
Where does honey come from? How does bread rise? What makes a tiny seed grow into something delicious?

Inspired by the international Slow Food movement, our program helps children understand where food comes from, appreciate the people who produce it and build a lifelong connection with good, clean and fair food.
