2012 Youth Culinary Tour

The 2012 Youth Culinary Tour is a cooking demonstration hosted by young culinary artists (ages 18 & under) during the farmers market at urban garden sites located in our three target market areas every Third Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The goal is for kids to teach kids how to make healthy snacks and better decisions regarding food intake that lead to healthier lifestyles and disease prevention (childhood diabetes, obesity, and behavior problems).

Chinati Foundation Garden

The Chinati Foundation is a contemporary art museum created by artist Donald Judd in Marfa, far West Texas. The museum presents large, permanent installations by twelve artists and is based on Judd’s interest in the relationship between art, architecture, and the surrounding high desert landscape. Chinati hosts special exhibitions; artist residencies; public programs by contemporary visual and performing artists, writers, and scholars; and youth and adult studio classes.

AQUA TERRA kids!

AQUA TERRA kids! is dedicated to providing nutritious, delicious school lunches that will inspire a lifetime of making good dietary choices. With a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients served in re-useable containers, the kids! lunch program strives to prevent food-related health problems as well as support a sustainable, green environment. It also offloads the burden of preparing and packaging these lunches from parents who want to do the right thing but are pressed for time.

 

Catskill Edible Garden Project

The Catskill Edible Garden Project, (growing the next generation of food entrepreneurs), works with area schools to create vegetable gardens that will increase access to healthy local food. The program is complemented with educational initiatives related to food resources, awareness of nutrition and agricultural or food related career options.

The Catskill Edible Garden Project offers the opportunity for a hands on youth development experience and exposure to food and agriculture as important aspects of our community, culture and potential career opportunities.

Rolling Hills Prep Organics

Rolling Hills Preparatory Schools mission is to create and maintain an organic garden through all stages, from planning, developing, planting, harvesting and composting. We work with students in all grades, some of whom have never gardened before. We have 28 raised beds in which each student is required to design, plant, and maintain his or her own garden for the trimester. We also assign community service to students that are interested in giving back to the community.

Florida for Growing Gardens

I can gather police department officials being that my father is a Lieutenant of the Metro-Dade police department. I can also hold a town meeting being that the officials reside on my street. I can get in contact with the presdient of FIU being that I am still a student. I can gather a handful of principals from public and private schools and I can also gather Judicial officials from the state if needed to truly have an impacting message to the community.

The Cooking Gene: Southern Discomfort Tour (Youth Cooking/Planting Demonstration)

NEXT Steps Youth Entrepreneur Program

Three Squares

 We work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to provide nutrition education and improved access to healthy food in low-income communities.

We run Cooking Matters, a national program created by Share Our Strength, which is a free, hands-on cooking and nutrition series for low-income families. We collaborate with community partners such as schools, health clinics, food pantries, and community centers to make our food system more equitable, three square meals at a time.
