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!!
Inspiring kids to make healthier eating choices, one edible adventure at a time!
