We Love
Our Food

COMMUNITY EVENT

In Module 3, we learned where our food comes from and where our food waste goes. We learned that on farms, humans can raise animals and grow plants, and that we can grow our own foods in a garden.

We learned that we can eat the rainbow—to help us eat a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables.

Healthy Foods

Module 3: Community Event

Invite a local native farmer or market gardener to join Earth Friends for an evening or weekend to gather children and families together to learn about foods in their local community and how they can grow some of their own. Or someone from a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) would also be a good guest to introduce families to a different way of food shopping.

To involve the children, let them show everyone the garden space and talk about what seeds they are growing for the garden. Encourage the children to ask the guest questions.
