[Sviannouncements] More Children's Workshops and Food Donations @ Food For Life 2009

[Sequatchie Valley Institute]

We've added several more Children's Workshops for 2009, thanks to our  
fun friends the Baehrs and our own Trish Woolbright!

We will also be doing a mass inoculation of Shiitake mushroom logs on  
Monday, May 29, followed by a hike and swim.


SATURDAY, MAY 23

9:30-11:45 PLAY WITH YER FOOD (Michelle Kimmons) - A hands-on crafts  
workshop just for kids! (…yes, grown-ups are welcome to participate  
as well). Hope your imaginations are hungry, because Michelle is  
cookin’ up some creative fun!  This year, we will look at examples  
of art inspired by food and then make our own fabulous art using  
things found in the kitchen! Your refrigerator has never seen art  
like this!

1:30-3:15  (same time as Econutrition) Composting & Vermiculture for  
Kids -- (Tricia Baehr & Trish Woolbright) We will explore composting  
& vemiculture, how it works, what can be composted and what can not,  
the science behind it all and how it’s an important part of making  
food grow and taste great! Bring a container any size that will work  
for your household composting and your child will get decorate it  
artistically. Dress appropriately to get dirty and have fun!

FRIDAY, MAY 29

9:30-10:30 (During Slow Food) Plant a Spaghetti Garden (Tricia  
Baehr)  - Kids will have fun starting seeds for their very own  
spaghetti garden. Plan for the kids to get dirty and their spaghetti  
garden will get a great start with a rich composted soil. Then we’ll  
plant the seeds for tomatoes, zucchini, oregano and basil for the  
children to take home and watch grow! Please bring 4 recycled tin  
cans or other recycled containers that they can decorate and punch  
holes in for drainage.

SATURDAY, MAY 30

9:30-11:30 (same time as Mushroom Cultivation) The Mad Hatter Tea  
Party (Tricia & Birke Baehr) - Kids can wear their favorite hat as we  
explore herbs and teas, tasting, smelling and touching different  
things from the garden and woods while learning about the healing  
properties and health benefits of drinking tea. Bring a small  
recycled container for your child to make their own tea blend to  
enjoy at home after the workshop.

SUNDAY, MAY 31
9:30-11:00 (Same time as Sausage Making) Sprouting with Sprouts!  
(Tricia Baehr) What’s more fun than watching food grow in your own  
kitchen and eating it in just a few days? Kids will learn all about  
sprouting, how it works, what you can sprout, recipes and ideas as  
well as a sprout tasting. Bring a quart jar and your child will go  
home with a grow it and eat it project! They’ll learn responsibility  
with rinsing and draining and about a healthy new food for life!
