Changing the way we learn about and develop healthy relationships with food!
Every young person deserves to learn about food

All Growing Chefs! programs provide fun, hands-on learning opportunities designed to improve food literacy and an understanding of food systems. The reason the entire Growing Chefs! concept works is because it helps children get excited about learning to enjoy food that’s good for you.
