Summer is coming up quickly; would you like to eat great foods directly at the farm? Do you want your children to learn all about their foods’ path from the field to the plate? Join us for our Farm to School summer camp at Hudson Heartbeet Community Farm during which children will get the opportunity to: meet young producers, follow their vegetables from field to the market, attend workshops on food transformation, entomology (science of insects) as well as animal genetics. Every Friday, parents, children and grandparents will be invited to participate in the Big Quiz in which theys will compete against one another on various agro-environmental topics that they have learned throughout the week! To finish off the week, the kids will prepare a market to sell fresh and local produce.
