Harvest of the Season

Harvest of the Season is a curriculum box program that teaches nutrition through cooking with local, seasonal produce in the classroom. Four times a year, the curriculum box is delivered to the school, highlighting a seasonal fruit drawing of a barn and farmor vegetable from a local farm. Inside the box is a complete cooking kit and all the ingredients needed for up to 30 children to cook (without heat) a seasonal recipe.

A complete curriculum guide accompanies the box, providing instructions for successfully cooking in the classroom, in addition to supplemental materials and activities.

Students learn about the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, how to handle and cook with fresh produce, and about the farmer who grew the products.

Read about CHANGE in the Schools to find out how to bring Harvest of the Season to your school.
