REAL QUOTES FROM STUDENTS
“When I saw the edamame, they didn’t look good, but then when I tried them, I loved them!”

I really liked tasting it all, and making the rainbow…it was just…cool!”
WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING
KIM L, PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR
IT’S SOMETHING THAT, WITHOUT FAIL, WE ALWAYS PUT ON OUR CALENDAR…IT’S A FUN THING TO BRING INTO THE CLASSROOM!
dana p, 3rd grade teacher
the STUDENTS WERE EXCITED and it was a very engaging program…a lot of these students aren’t exposed to these fruits and vegetables, so it’s a good program to introduce them.
JOE E, 3rd grade teacher
I LIKED THAT THE STUDENTS WERE ALLOWED TO TRY THE DIFFERENT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
OUTCOMES OF OUR PROGRAM
We have taken over 30,000 children on our EDIBLE adventure at preschools, elementary schools, park districts, libraries, restaurants and sports centers.
98% of all students in our classes taste every fruit and vegetable served.
70% of children ages 4-10 have tried a new fruit or vegetable in class.
Parents are telling us their children are asking for more fruits and veggies at home.

Our goal is that children have fun, learn about the importance of Fruits & Veggies for their bodies and want to eat more (and try more) of them every day!
Kids who eat fruits & veggies daily reduce their risks of developing certain chronic diseases. If we start them young, they have a great chance to develop healthy eating habits for life! What an amazing gift we can give them! We have the privilege and honor to make a difference in a child's healthy eating habits and attitude!!
