Family events in North Fork, NY

A hands-on, food-focused workshop set among farm fields, greenhouses, and an orchard on a certified organic farm. Youth educators Trish and Cara guide children through the tastes, smells, sounds, and textures of the farm while exploring how food is grown, spending time outdoors, connecting with nature, and getting creative. The session begins with a brief body and mind check-in to set a joyful, mindful tone. Participants learn how to plant and care for seedlings and make seed balls to take home and toss in the garden. They also prepare their own Sang Lee Juice using seasonal organic fruits and vegetables from the farm to enjoy during the workshop, encouraging kids to try new veggies and appreciate the process of growing their own food. Participants should be entering Kindergarten in the fall and be comfortable attending without a parent or guardian.
