About the Program: 

Kids Country is  an afterschool program operating  15 sites at Elementary Schools in San Ramon and Danville, CA   Last year, inspired by a visit to the ESY, we launched our Edible Education Project.  We   recruited staff who shared our passion and got to work.    Committees were formed dedicated to planting edible gardens, improving the quality of food served, serving meals family style, and developing garden and cooking curriculum for all 15 sites.     This year we will continue to grow and look forward to collaborating with experts and educators, and to creating partnerships with our families, our schools, and our community.  we have learned so much and have so much to learn.
