About the Program: 

Our vision is to teach as many kids and youths as possible about great tasting food that is good for them and for the environment.

We have school classes visiting us every day of the school year. We have garden classroom and three kitchen classrooms, and our location is an old farm - situated in the middle of Oslo.

We also have food courses for families, for junior chefs and for the brand new parents wanting to learn how to make healthy, nourishing, safe and tasty food to their babies.

Multiple times a year we have big open food tasting and experience events called "Åpen Gård" (Open farm) where we invite kids and their families to come and smell, taste, feel, make, mix, learn, experience and eat! The events are free and open to everyone.

Everything we teach, all the resources we develop and use, and our experiences are shared and open to use for everyone - on our website. (For now, only in Norwegian).
