DK Kids Field Trips

DK kids' field trips aim to teach children how to lead a healthier lifestyle through a commitment to making healthy choices and physical activity – a “learn to grow and grow to learn” initiative. The Chef for a Day/Farmer for a Day program blends together health, education, organic growing techniques and eating habits to lead children to a healthier future. Through this program we host school classrooms and private groups for children ages 6 – 12 whose academic and social curriculum fit our mission and community outreach initiatives. Our resident farmer and DK team lead the program.

At the end of the kids' interactive field trip, students will leave with a real take-home planting project, 5-2-1-0 materials, as well as a clearer idea of how to make healthy choices and the importance of understanding farm to table practices.
