Kids In The Kitchen
Kids in the Kitchen
Here at Cape Cod Cooperative Extension, we have been busy working on a series of videos geared towards students in grades K-6 and their families. The goal of this series is to highlight our region’s local agriculture in ways that resonate with children. Scroll down for a library of cooking videos focusing on local fruits and vegetables, as well as accompanying recipes and valuable tools to use as resources in your work and nutrition initiatives. The Kids in the Kitchen videos have been made possible through Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources funding and produced in collaboration with Cape Cod Buy Fresh Buy Local and the Nutrition Education Program.
