Field To Fork

Let’s dig into some more ideas that will make your taste buds dance and your hearts grow fonder!

Flow Through The Market

  • Meet the Makers: Encourage everyone to talk to farmers and vendors. Ask about their methods, favorite products, and recipe suggestions.
  • Sensory Experience: Focus not just on buying, but smelling, touching, and even tasting where allowed. Turn it into a multi-sensory experience!

  • Kid-Friendly Stations: Set up simple prep stations for younger kids. Washing veggies, tearing lettuce, and stirring things can be fun tasks.
  • Skill-Building Focus: If there’s a new technique involved (kneading dough, assembling a dressing, etc), let an older family member teach the younger ones. Also, note that they make kid-friendly knives and other kitchen utensils so you can practice while being safe!

Start The Conversation

  • Tasty Travels: Look up how far typical grocery items travel compared to your farmers market finds.
  • What Season: Discuss which items are in season and why that matters for flavor and the items that need to travel to get to your local grocery store.
  • Who Made It: Take a moment before eating to think about all the hands (farmers, vendors, your family) that made the meal possible.
