Fresh News

I’m excited to announce that Taste Buds is now available for all of our Farmer’s 4 Education partner schools! If you’re unsure if your school is a Farmer’s 4 Education partner, click HERE!

So, if you want us to bring a fresh fruit and vegetable tasting challenge to your kids – here’s what you need to know:

1) Taste Buds only visits schools on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. No Monday’s & No Friday’s

2) We are currently visiting grades 1-6

3) We will visit your school between 1pm and dismissal.

4) We will visit with 2 classrooms per visit.

5) We prefer that the classrooms are not combined. Trying to play the game with too many kids at one time isn’t effective.

6) We will NOT VISIT with any classroom that hasn’t first sent the Taste Buds permission slip home and had it returned to the teacher before we arrive. The permission slip is important because it alerts us to any potential food allergies.

7) Click HERE for a printable and downloadable version of the permission slip. We would suggest sending this home with every classroom so they’re ready to go whenever we visit.

8 ) Click HERE for a Taste Buds homework piece. This sheet (cut into 3 pieces) allows the kids to write down what they tried and what they liked so their families at home can be made aware of the news.

9) We’ve found that the visits work best if the kids are kept in their classroom rather than relocating to the Gym or Cafeteria.

10) To finalize any visit date or time, you must contact Rick via email at rick@farmers4education.com or by calling 235-9500.
