The Bentonville Public Library and Bentonville Library Foundation present the second in a series of exciting events centered around how food has the ability to heal our bodies.
Join Apple Seeds, Inc., a non-profit located in Fayetteville for a fun and engaging program designed for kids and parents alike! Children will enjoy a storytime about vegetables with Apple Seeds staff, while parents learn simple, practical tips on the importance of nutritious meals, getting five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and fun ways to cook with kids. Parents and children will then come back together to prepare nutritious recipes and enjoy it as a family. Registration is required so that we can know in advance any dietary restrictions.
Recipes will include:
Colorful Black Bean Salad
Rainbow Fruit Kabobs
About the Presenters:
The missing of Apple Seeds, Inc., is to inspire healthy living through garden-based education by creating programs that educate and excite young students about healthy food AND increase students' access to those healthy foods. Apple Seeds offers a multitude of educational opportunities in the community ranging from Farm Lab Field Trips, cooking experiences in the schools, Farm to Table Youth cooking classes, the Kids' Table Summer Camp, garden workshops and more.
In 2015, Apple Seeds found its home on 2-acres of land at Gulley Park in Fayetteville. The Teaching Farm was established at Gulley Park thanks to a collaboration with the City of Fayetteville to lease those 2 acres to Apple Seeds until the year 2035.
In just 2 short years Apple Seeds turned this field into a Teaching Farm and opened its gates to students in 2017. Home to a Teaching Kitchen, an orchard, production gardens and a variety of gardens, the Teaching Farm is a place for students to learn, cook, share healthy meals together, and be inspired to do the same in their kitchens.
Not a day goes by where we don’t hear the enthusiastic voices of students as they walk through the gates, explore the gardens, and delight in preparing garden fresh food together.
