Tastewise Kids / Days of Taste

​

TasteWise Kids inspires kids to explore and experience the world of food and its sources.  Kids are empowered to think about food in new ways and to realize that "healthy" food and good-tasting food are not mutually exclusive.  Kids get the opportunity to discover for themselves that good taste, nutritious food, and good health go together.  Read more on the website and volunteer for the Days of Taste program.  

The Roving Radish

 

The Roving Radish promotes healthy farm-to-table eating habits by supplying healthy meals to our residents, especially those in need, while creating a sustainable market for local farms.  Volunteers are needed to help in the kitchen!
