Inspiration from Berkeley

I'm spending a bulk of my time this winter thinking about the lessons, games, and activities that we use in the garden classroom.  A big element for us is also the kitchen classroom, where we prepare food with the children.  This kitchen classroom might be in a classroom at a school with a garden, on a table in the garden, or at a picnic table at Bobbibrook Farm.  Regardless of where it is, we strive to make very tasty things out of garden ingredients!

This video from the Edible Schoolyard describes a wonderful philosophy about independence and passion being cultivated in the kitchen classroom.  Enjoy!
