ABOUT US
Committed to Helping Your Child Learn, Cook, and Grow
Are your chefs ready to roll up their sleeves and learn something new? Welcome to the cookbook class, where your chef will...
​
Learn a cooking skill - These skills will include kitchen safety, reading a recipe, measuring ingredients, and more.
​
Create a new recipe - Chefs will learn how to make a different recipe that will go into their own personalized cookbook. At the end of the 4 week session, chefs will take home their cookbook and practice the recipes in their own kitchen!
Be inspired to cook - The recipes were developed with the mindset that chefs will be able to make them at home with little to no assistance. We will encourage chefs to take ownership of cooking their own food and provide them with tips and ideas of how to make their own breakfasts, pack snacks and lunches for school, and more.
​
Get movin' - We believe that eating healthy and yummy foods and getting enough daily physical activity go hand in hand. With that being said, each session will include an opportunity for the kids to get up and move!
Be involved in discussions- chefs will learn the role food plays in our lives and the effects that food has on our minds and bodies. Cooking healthy food is not just a form of physical nourishment, but emotional nourishment as well. We will be adding some "Vitamin L" or love to each of our recipes!
Have a snack - At the end of each class, chefs will get the opportunity to eat what they prepared in the kitchen and be a critic of their cooking.
Challenge their taste buds - We will invite chefs to try all recipes and will lead them to shift their paradigm in common complaints heard around the dinner table.
Receive "a pinch" of academic reinforcement - The cookbook class believes in making the academic connection between real world experiences and what is taught in the classroom. This can be accomplished through reading recipes, learning about the benefits of healthy foods through non-fiction texts, writing responses after trying a recipe, and applying math skills throughout the cooking process.
​
HAVE FUN - cooking might be a hidden passion within your child that is waiting to be unveiled! Each session is promised to be filled with lots of laughter, fun, and maybe even some friendly competition!

"We need to give kids the experience of what healthy food is-- Our kids need to plant it, grow it, and prepare it."
TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for a wonderful program that Colin completely loved. He has already been asking when he gets to come back, which doesn’t happen that often! From the bottom of my heart thank you for encouraging the love of healthy nutrition with all the kids. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy summer schedule. We look forward to more times at the Farm."

"So David came home from school today and asked if he could make us some smoothies!! We've all had smoothies before, but this one was different and a HUGE hit with all 4 kids!! And as for me, it was the BEST one I've ever had!! Thanks for sharing the recipe with David!
Thanks for doing what you do with such love, passion, and attention to detail! My 11 year old is begging for me to go to the store to get more spinach and I have you both to thank!"

"Thank you both so much! This was the perfect class for my son! He is a self-proclaimed foodie and has written a New Year resolution (for the past two years) to learn to cook more. He tries lots of things at home but he has been wanting to take a cooking class. We love the CFF and were so glad when Chelsea told us you were going to offer this class. You two were so well organized and were so passionate about this first session and so sweet to all the chefs. I signed both our boys up for the next session! We are looking forward to it starting soon!"
