In our Foodwise Kids program, students are encouraged to explore the bounty of the farmers market and ask questions as they savor ripe summer berries and the sample florets of purple cauliflower and other less familiar veggies. After immersing themselves in the wide variety of produce, personally meeting the farmers, and bravely tasting their farmers market finds, kids leave the market with a bigger appetite to know how food makes it to their plate.

When kids weren’t able to come to the farmers market in person due to the pandemic, we continued to feed their curiosity about food remotely. As part of our adaptation to online learning, Foodwise filmed six videos that educators can now share with students wherever they are. In one of these videos, “Where Does Food Come From?” Foodwise’s Director of Education, Tiffany Chung, brings viewers of all ages along on a visit to Oya Organics, a diversified organic vegetable farm in Hollister, California.
