How does food travel from farms to our tables? What happens to food to change it from the form in which it’s harvested to the many forms we encounter in grocery stores? We’ll explore the steps of processing, preserving and transporting food, use hands-on games to explore common foods in many forms, and will make our own preserved food to take home.
