Tracks
Fun with Local Foods Track with Abbie Nelson and Marissa Watson
Preparing and serving new foods can be more fun and less arduous, with a few tools and by involving kids in the process. In this workshop we will explore how people develop food preferences, and how we change these preferences. We will share innovations in purchasing, serving, and educating kids about local foods through simple activities and recipes.
Participants will:
- Learn how we develop food preferences and how to introduce new and local foods to kids.
- Practice incorporating nutrition education into food-based experiences.
- Learn how to find and properly procure local foods.
