Chefs for Kids kicked off the 2026–27 school year with our first two Eat a Rainbow Farmers Markets, and if these markets are any indication, we’re in for another colorful year of helping children discover just how delicious healthy eating can be!
Our volunteers overheard some pretty great conversations as students explored the produce. Here are a few of our favorite comments:
“It looks healthy!”
“You could cook it!”
“These peppers look big & juicy!”
And perhaps our favorite:
“I’m going to give this all to my mom and she can make a vegetable soup!”
That last comment captures exactly what the Eat a Rainbow Farmers Market program is all about. It’s not just about introducing children to nutritious foods. It’s about helping them connect what they learn in the classroom to what happens at home, empowering them to share their knowledge with their families and encouraging healthier choices that extend well beyond the school day.

One teacher shared an especially sweet example of just how much Cookin’ Up Breakfast means to her students. When she told her class that Chefs for Kids would be providing breakfast the following morning, one student was so excited that he compared it to Christmas and actually skipped all the way home from school.
That kind of excitement is exactly what Cookin’ Up Breakfast is all about.

🌱 Rooting for healthy choices, one parsnip at a time! 💚
Why was the parsnip so good at school?
Because it was always getting to the root of the problem! 🤓
What makes parsnips so healthy?
💪 Fiber power! Helps support healthy digestion and keeps you feeling satisfied.
💛 Potassium for the win! Helps your muscles, nerves, and heart work properly.
🙌 Vitamins for growth! Folate and vitamin C help your body grow, repair tissues, and stay healthy.
Did you know? 🤔
🥔 A potato swap! Parsnips can be mashed, roasted, or added to soups just like potatoes with a naturally sweeter, nuttier flavor.
⚡ Fuel for fun! Parsnips contain carbohydrates that give your body energy to run, jump, play, and learn.
🔥 Sweetness unlocked! Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, giving them a delicious flavor similar to carrots or sweet potatoes.
Would you give them a taste❔💯
