Farm to Table: Pumpkins - CANCELLED
Local youth ages 8 to 13 are invited to roll up their sleeves and trace their food from the soil to the oven in the upcoming 4-H Farm to Table: Pumpkins program scheduled for Saturday October 3, 2026 starting at 9:00 am. Participants will begin their hands-on adventure at a local farm, discovering how pumpkins are planted, cultivated, and harvested. Afterward, the young chefs will head to the kitchen to transform their pumpkin to a table ready snack or treat. Learning valuable culinary techniques and nutrition basics along the way. This immersive experience offers a fun, interactive way for kids to connect with agriculture, build kitchen confidence, and enjoy the delicious rewards of their hard work.
