Little Locavores Recipes
Recipes here are tailored for kids in grades K-5 who are just learning to cook. They all feature ingredients grown in North Iowa. We encourage you to introduce your children to the local food system and the kitchen as early as possible.
There are many benefits to teaching our kids how to cook. They can learn a variety of topics from chemistry and math to self-care and independence, without even realizing they are learning. Helping in the kitchen helps kids to make better decisions for their own health.
