Teachers and community groups!
Want to use these materials in your program?
Er... I make tools that help children (and adults!) discover healthy foods that they actually like.
Yes, that sound better.
How? Coloring pages, cooking activities, taste tests, and other family-friendly materials that motivate even picky eaters to try new foods... and keep trying them, even if they didn't like them the first time.
Which means healthier, happier kids, and fewer arguments at the dinner table.
This item is a digital version of the You Can Grow Food coloring book that you can download and print out at home.
If you want your kids to eat vegetables today, bribe them with dessert. If you want them to eat vegetables every day, plant a garden together.
This companion to Square Foot Garden Basics will get your little ones excited about growing — and eating — their own vegetables. (And once they discover they like to eat the plants they grow, they're more willing to try the ones from the market.)

If you like spinach or beets, you might like rainbow chard!

Fat is magical.)
Contains tips for growing, preparing, and enjoying rainbow chard. (Or even ordinary green-and-white chard.)
