If you’re unfamiliar with their mission, Growing Chefs is all about getting kids excited about good, healthy food. “In our Classroom Gardening and Cooking Program, chef volunteers are paired with elementary school classrooms (grades 1-3 for the primary program, 4-6 for the intermediate) to give students hands-on experience growing and cooking their own food.” It’s a fantastic program, and our city is better for it!
