Imagine if learning about food, eating, and nutrition was more approachable, fun, and helped us to feel more connected to ourselves, each other, and our planet.
We think it can!
We collaborate with educators - in the early years and in schools - to develop practical, engaging resources that meet your needs. Our resources welcome diverse ways of eating, are body-inclusive, recognize eating times as learning times, and build food skills and literacy
Let us work with you to reimagine food and nutrition education so that it nourishes children’s bodies, minds, and connections with their communities.
