Clean Plate Club for children registration form
Back by popular demand, Field House Farm is happy to announce the autumn schedule for the cooking class series for children, as an extension of its existing Agricultural Program.
The series will be led by Maya Bradstreet of A Recipe for Wellness, LLC, www.arecipe4wellness.com. She’s a health professional & nutrition coach who has led multiple cooking courses in St. Louis, Missouri and now on the Shoreline where she has lived for nearly 3 years. A mom of two farm & food-loving children, her goal is to change the nation’s current food & health predicament through prevention! There’s no better place to begin than with our kids!
In the Kids Clean Plate Club, children, will be introduced to our food system, focusing on foods grown and raised seasonally on the farm, learning how they might impact their bodies. They will also be taught cooking basics. Recipes and handouts will be shared so that families will have the ability to incorporate the lessons into their own homes. Kids will leave with a love of cooking and the ability to relate food to how they feel in terms of health and mood and overall wellbeing.
DETAILS – Monthly Kids Clean Plate Club Programming:
Two-hour sessions where children will make (and taste!) 3-4 recipes from scratch. Recipes will be seasonal, and dependent on what is available on the farm. When appropriate, we will go to the gardens and hen house to harvest the food products. Tools will be provided.

October 25th
November 8th & 22nd
December 20th

“End of Summer/Not Quite School Time” Children’s Program
This August and September, we will be offering our first farm education program designed to bridge the gap between “end of summer “ and “start of school”. This is engineered to offer programming to children who may have a later start to school, but are not ready for the fun of summer to end. We will be working with a host of 5-7 teachers who will bring their personal expertise in a variety of topics including: wool processing and crafts, knitting, focused art lessons, food and earth science, culinary arts, farming, and animal husbandry.
This program is offered to 5-12 year old children. The dates and times are listed below. Children can be enrolled for specific days or the entire program length. All registration and payment must be received by Monday August 24, 2015.
