Get Learning: Farm to Fork Trails
Friday 21st August 2015Farm to Fork is an initiative from The Tesco East Happy Project, and is all about helping children to learn how their food is made and where it comes from, so they can have a happier and healthier relationship with food. Your Company could organise a local ‘In store’, ‘Distribution Centre’ or ‘Farm and Factory’ trail to find out more about the food we buy in the supermarkets.
On a trail the children might get to see bread being made in the bakery, or fish being prepared at the fish counter, or understand how food has to be stored at the right temperature. If you are lucky enough to be able to go on a farm trail you might even see how food on their plate starts its journey, by watching cows being milked or what part bees play in the production of fruit.
You can find a trail near you by going on to the website and searching for your local trails. If you cannot get out and about then it may be possible for a Farm to Fork guide to come to you. There are also online resources and a printed resource pack so it’s not just about a visit to a store or farm.
