Today was out last day in the classrooms and it was all about fruit. You can't live in the Okanagan and not learn about fruit. The students made their own fruit compote. Next week is our field trip! #edibleeducation #okanagan #eatlocal

Did you know that there's a rad program in the #Okanagan that teaches kids about growing and preparing local foods? It's true! Check out the article in RestoBiz 😄 #kelowna #ylw #penticton #summerland #oliverbc restobiz.ca/edible-edifyin…

We are launching our new season of #edibleeducation and are searching for cooks/chefs to lead the group at a #WestKelowna school We provide training, support volunteers + class of eager students to learn to grow, cook, eat fresh fruits & veggies. Visit our website for details

A huge thank you to Farm Credit Canada for their generous donation! $1,000 can help us grow a lot of healthy kids in the #Okanagan! #kelownanews #kelowna #okanagan #ylw

Two days away from our #edibleeducation orientation and we couldn’t be more excited to have the team back together to #growhealthykids in our community! Here’s to starting an amazing 4th season!

The magic of the #edibleeducation program begins today! Our dedicated group of volunteers are getting ready to share their passion for #growinghealthykids - join us we grow, learn, and eat our way through the next 6 weeks!

Did you know that Canada’s first food guide was introduced in 1942? It was made to help Canadians ration their food and prevent nutritional deficiencies during WWII. Now it’s an Eating Well Guide, with alternatives and options, so everyone can find something that works for them!

All packed up and ready for our first classes in Naramata and Trout Creek today! We will be talking nutrition with @zneukom from @ChoicesMarkets and we are wondering, what make you feel healthy on a Monday?

Planting gardens with our kids for their #edibleeducation is so much fun! Getting our hands dirty and learning about WHAT grows in the valley is always a great experience! #growinghealthykids #helpthemgrow #cicgrow #cic2019 #nutrition #plantseeds

Edible flowers (such as Violas and Marigolds) are loaded with antioxidants! They are a great way to bring colour and nutrients to a dish, and they make cooking fun! 🌸🌼

Jack and the Hungry Giant by Loreen Leedy is a book we love to read with our kids. There are so many books out there that are both educational and fun! What are your favourite books? #edibleeducation #nutrition #cicgrow #okanaganchefs #cic2019 #kelownanow #okanaganlife

Learning about what fills our plates and there is so much fun stuff to know🤓 For example, did you know that peas and asparagus contain vitamin K which helps blood clotting (scraped knees anyone?) and vitamin Bs which help regulate energy levels and keep stress at bay! #learning
