Adopting a classroom has many benefits, including receiving hand-made cards from the students, updates about the program in your classroom, and an invitation to watch the program in action. Teri from the Mary and Gordon Christopher Foundation recently visited a classroom and had this to say about the experience:

“Thank you for the fun experience this morning! My mom and I loved being with the kids! Growing Chefs is doing great work in classrooms.”

Please contact Afton Bell for more information on how you can adopt a classroom for fall 2023 or spring 2024! 

2021/2022 School Year: Program Update

The end of the school year has been busy for us at Growing Chefs. We have so many new faces on our team, some going out on parental leave, some going on vacation to enjoy the summer, all at the same time as program planning for next year. But before we get there, we’d like to recap and celebrate the end of the school year! 

2021 FALL PROGRAM

We had many celebrations in the 2021/2022 school year, the biggest one being our return to in-person programs! Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we delivered a safe and fun program that warmed everyone’s [artichoke] hearts. It’s so good to feel the energy of being back to school!

Over the course of four weeks, our fall program covered a wide range of subjects. To begin, the chefs helped the students plant a small windowsill garden.

Students monitored their gardens, and through a series of games, activities, art projects, and lessons focusing on plant growth, vegetables, sustainability, and food choices, they learned more about where their food comes from and how they are a part of their local food system. 

The kids were curious to try new scientific methods as they planted seeds and observed how plants grew over a few weeks. As a class, they came up with ways to test how different conditions affect plant growth and development.

Unfounded hypothesis :-)

Students learned how to read a recipe as they made pickled vegetables together with the chefs. They had the opportunity to take the recipe home and try it with their families, which was a big hit! Some kids returned to school the week after saying their caregivers also wanted to learn how to cook with us.

We love the willingness these kids show to try the salad, and more often than not, they pile their plates with seconds! Our plating and tasting activity promotes creativity and open-mindedness. The end result is a colourful, beautiful plate worthy of pictures.

“It was such a lovely experience volunteering with Growing Chefs! I really enjoyed seeing the students excited to learn about the different aspects of food and for some to break out of their comfort zones to try new foods. I was amazed that many students at such a young age were already very knowledgeable about the gardening process. I definitely learned a lot through this experience from the students and fellow chefs.”

— Helen Z., volunteer

They also had a Virtual Field Trip to either Earnest Ice Cream, Cheakamus Centre, or Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture, followed by a live inquiry Q & A session where students could speak directly with their respective teams. It’s amazing to see how engaging these conversations can be, and the types of questions that come up from the students. We have so many brilliant minds in our classrooms!

Check out a teaser of one of the Virtual Field Trips:

2022 SPRING PROGRAM

Historically, our Spring program is our longest one. Over the course of 6 weeks, chefs and students not only learned how to take care of their garden but also learned what composting means and how to do a compost stew, which is the perfect way to close the gardening cycle.

The kids explored their five senses as they examined vegetables and tried to guess what they were. They were also open to tasting different leafy greens and eating the very same greens that they planted in the first class.

One of the most exciting activities - for the chefs and the kids - is to cook together. We can see some sparkles in their eyes when they are able to cook a meal with what they have grown and worked so hard to take care of. This time, they prepped a delicious stir-fry!

“I like to think that Jennifer and I had more fun than the kids did, and that is hard to say because they had a blast. The kids we had this year were extraordinary, they gravitated so well towards the program, and they truly enjoyed it. I think one of our favorite memories was the knife cutting class we did with them in lesson 5. Once they realized they would be handling a knife, some of the kids went a little quiet and shy, perhaps a bit afraid, but as we walked each once of them individually through the drill, everyone was super proud to have used a knife to cut veggies with. Personally, I really enjoyed watching some of the kids go from non-veggie eaters to slowly getting into them with every class that passes by. Every week we had a better bond as a class and a better bond with our food. As per usual, the Growing Chefs salad dressing is always the rockstar of the show, and we heard the kids tell us that they keep making that salad at home.”

— Alex, school teacher at Pleasantsid

THE NUMBERS

• 48 classrooms engaged in programming!

• 1,500 kids engaged!

• 8 Intermediate classrooms in the fall for our Classroom Gardening & Cooking Program!

• 15 Primary classrooms in the spring for our Classroom Gardening & Cooking Program, including our return to programming in Victoria!

• 90 volunteers recruited, trained, and supported!

• 25 classes/groups on Virtual Field Trips!

We all love numbers, but nothing warms your heart more than stories from the students:

LunchLAB 

For those who don’t know, LunchLAB (a collaboration with Fresh Roots and the Vancouver School Board) is a fun, education program that serves healthy, delicious lunches prepared by a chef-in-residence, student chefs, and their teachers. Learning with their teacher and a chef-in-residence, students help create the menu, prepare the food, and serve it to their peers. It is an exercise in learning and sharing. And it’s delicious! 

Fall 2021 saw the return of LunchLAB at Total Education, while we were able to restart Lunchlab at Lord Roberts in Spring 2022. We can’t wait to return to LunchLAB in our 2023/2024 school year.

We’re incredibly grateful for each and every person who has helped to make these programs possible. After two years of online programming, we missed the energy of the teachers and students, and nothing would have been possible without our dear volunteers, our talented team of staff, and generous supporters. Let’s all continue to teach kids more about healthy food and healthy food systems. If you are looking for ways to get involved, check out the volunteer and donate pages of our website! 

HAVE A DELICIOUS SUMMER!

Seedlings for Sandown

This spring, Growing Chefs partnered with Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture for a new way to get elementary school classrooms growing. Our new Seedlings for Sandown project meant kids got their hands in the soil, planted seeds and shared in the joy of the growing season, while learning about how food is grown and engaging with their community in a healthy way.

In April, Growing Chefs provided 230 students in 12 Greater Victoria Area classrooms with windowsill gardening kits. Each kit included sunflower and popcorn seeds from Metchosin Farm - a local farm and seed producer on the island - as well as a classroom gardening resource guide with information on the plants they are growing, and interactive activity guides for teachers to incorporate the gardens into their teaching. Students had the opportunity to plant seeds and nurture them into seedlings, while learning about the parts and life cycle of a plant, how they grow, soil, and our food system.

“Our corn seeds started to sprout this week ….. Yeah! The students are very excited and eagerly visit them first thing every morning! We talk to our plants and give them kindness to make them grow fast and healthy! We just planted our sunflower seeds yesterday so we are anxiously waiting for them to sprout soon.”

— Teacher, Quadra Elementary

In June, over 250 seedlings were transported from these participating elementary schools to the Sandown Centre’s new 83-acre regenerative farm site, where they were transplanted by a group of students from the nearby Parkland Secondary School. The Parkland Secondary class then had the opportunity to get their hands in the dirt while learning about regenerative agriculture. They heard from a few of Sandown’s farmpreneurs to learn about their start in a career in regenerative agriculture. The seedlings will grow to maturity at the Sandown Centre’s regenerative agriculture site - helping to break ground, regenerate the soil, and brighten this new community space!

2020/2021 Program Update

As the school year comes to a close, so does another year of edible education and food literacy programming at Growing Chefs. And what a year it has been! Despite not being able to visit elementary schools in person, our programming did not miss a beet. This past school year, we were still able to reach 87 classrooms and over 2,500 kids. Here’s a look at what we got up to!

By the end of the 2019/2020 school year, we missed seeing our learners in person. So during the summer of 2020, our team worked on developing ways we could interact directly with learners to continue to create meaningful connections between students and those working in the local food system. We may not have been able to bring chefs and farmers into school classrooms, but we found ways to connect them to classrooms digitally, and brought the classroom to our local food systems for a highly interactive, virtual behind-the-scenes look.

With pre-recorded on-site videos, live interactive activities, printable worksheets, and a live Q&A with local food experts our new Virtual Field Trips allowed students to explore their local food system in a completely new way. Each unique session provided students with the opportunity to interact with local food producers, chefs, and other food experts, see unique locations related to our food systems, and encourage them to think critically about these systems all while staying in the comfort and safety of their classroom or their home.

Engaging 28 classrooms in this new program we visited:

• Fresh Roots Farm to showcase the full growth cycle of a plant and learn about urban agriculture on a schoolyard farm, and

• Cheakamus Centre near Squamish, to learn from Chef Wade and Cultural Educator Aura about the science behind maple syrup making and to take a look at maple trees from an Indigenous perspective.

• At the end of the school year, we also began to pilot a virtual field trip to the Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture, exploring natural connections and the importance of these connections to farming and food production.

"The programming was thoughtful, engaging, and informative. The presenters were equipped with a wealth of knowledge and professional experience. They even brought along physical items that were used to share and present concepts over Zoom. My students found this useful for understanding from afar. Importantly, we were given the opportunity to work, not only with Chef Wade from the Cheakamus Centre, but also Indigenous knowledge keeper Aura, who provided historical and traditional stories and information to ground us in the land and cultural traditions of the area. This was very special. I will absolutely be booking with Growing Chefs again in the future!"

- Whitney Wiliams, Grade 2 teacher at South Island Distance Education School, Vancouver Island

In the fall, Growing Chefs piloted a program that would allow chefs and food experts to directly connect with kids in the classroom, even if they couldn’t join the classrooms in person this year. Through our digital pen-pal program we called Vegeta-pals, 12 classrooms across the province were paired with food experts and chefs to engage one another in exploring our food systems. Vegeta-pals exchanged video messages, artwork, and letters, engaged in learning activities, and some even had live interactive video chats continuing to build connections with kids and where their food comes from.

“We are having a great time with Chef Patrick and Mich from the Vegeta-pal program.  Our students are LOVING IT. Our class is so jazzed to be part of the Growing Chefs program, in this virtual sense.  It is amazing, how creative we are getting during these times. Our class is full of energy, enthusiasm and joy.”

- Kimberly Baker, Grade 3/4 teacher at Maywood Community School, Burnaby

This spring, Growing Chefs provided 47 classrooms with the materials needed to get growing in the classroom. We provided planters, seeds from our friends at West Coast Seeds, soil, a classroom gardening resource guide developed by Growing Chefs with our friends from the Vancouver Master Gardeners. With online support for teachers, we were able to continue getting students’ hands in the soil and engage kids in the concept of how food grows.

In the Greater Victoria area, these classroom gardens extended beyond the walls of the school through our new Seedlings for Sandown program. 12 Victoria classrooms grew carefully selected seed varieties from Metchosin Farm and nurtured seedlings that would later be transplanted into a special area at the Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture. Over 250 corn and sunflower seedlings were delivered to Sandown’s new 83-acre farm site where students from Parkland Secondary, visited the farm to help transplant the seedlings while learning about regenerative agriculture from Sandown’s Farmpreneurs. 

Our corn seeds started to sprout this week ..... yeah! The students are very excited and eagerly visit them first thing every morning! We talk to our plants and give them kindness to make them grow fast and healthy!

- Jeanette De Biase, Grade 1 teacher at Ecole Quadra Elementary

With many families at home and looking for things to do during Spring Break this year, Growing Chefs put together a series of fun, interactive online experiences for elementary school-aged kids. These events provided kids and their families the opportunity to explore their local food system, meet local food champions and continue their learning of growing and cooking healthy food.

From storytime with celebrity Chef Bruno Feldeisen, to garden planning tips with the Vancouver Master Gardeners, to a choose-your-own-adventure-style cooking class with Chef Linda Olson from Truffle Fine Foods and more! The six-event series engaged all ages from families across the province providing something for everyone.

Reaching an entirely new audience of learners this year, we connected with home learning and distance education groups to provide students, and families, with curated food literacy learning opportunities. Growing Chefs’ Virtual Home Learning Program connected with over 300 students from across Canada who were learning from home, in school, or participating in a hybrid program.

Students in our virtual home learning program attended live virtual field trips and interacted with weekly themed lessons which included videos, worksheets, recipes, and hands-on food literacy activities to do at home. Students learned about growing food, food systems, urban agriculture, healthy eating, how to read and create their own recipes as well as other culinary skills, and more.

“We have had lots of learning and fun, such as our online field trip and learning about the six parts of a plant (stem, roots, leaves, seeds, fruits, and the flowers). Some other things we learned are planting in an urban environment is called Urban Agriculture. Urban Agriculture is important because we can’t always rely on imported food. A good way to help is to plant seeds on your balcony backyard, or somewhere else.”

- Brendan, age 10

While our programming this year has perhaps looked a little different, our goals have remained the same. We continue to adapt and teach kids about healthy food and healthy food systems through connecting them with food experts and engaging them in hands-on interactive learning thanks to the help of our supporters and community partners. We are excited to integrate this new programming with our regular Classroom Gardening and Cooking Program next year and beyond. We look forward to enriching and deepening the learning and experiences Growing Chefs brings to classrooms and families.

We are incredibly grateful to all those who helped us to shift our programming and create new, innovative ways to continue teaching kids and families about healthy food and healthy food systems from a distance.

Vegeta-pals

Our program team and our chef and community volunteers really missed being in the classroom this year. Although we couldn’t visit in person, we came up with a new way to connect with B.C. kids.

The Vegeta-Pal Program!

A modern and tasty pen pal project… with a twist! This fall we paired elementary school classrooms across the province with volunteer food systems champions to build relationships, interest, and connection around growing and cooking food. The Vegeta-pal program provided a new way for us to deliver upon our mission of connecting chefs, kids, and communities to foster systemic change towards healthy, sustainable, and just food practices.

What do the teachers think?

Our classroom has had the opportunity to work with the Growing Chefs program for the past few years. It was an awesome program, very informative and hands-on for the students. We loved having the chefs in the classroom as they were very knowledgeable and interacted well with the kids, their enthusiasm about food was infectious! This year, we have been given the opportunity to work with vegeta-pals as we cannot have the chefs physically visit our classroom. So far, they have been great! The students loved the first video and activity. We are looking forward to the next few weeks of the program.

- Michelle Cavanagh
Grade 5/6 Classroom Teacher Champlain Heights Elementary, Vancouver

How do the volunteers feel?

The Vegeta-pal Program through Growing Chefs has been a fantastic inspiration for us. This virtual program has allowed us to connect with local children to share our favourite food stories, culinary inspirations & ultimately, to really connect with our future foodies, farmers, & chefs on what they love to eat & where the food they are enjoying comes from. A bit of culinary education, geography & math is added to the pot for good measure. One of us is a farmer, & the other, a Chef, so we were inspired to become vegeta-pals simply to connect kids to their food. Where it comes from, how it grows & to encourage a healthy understanding of their favourite foods. We are hopeful that our vegeta-pals will be inspired to learn more about their favourite foods, hopefully just as inspired as we are to teach them about the process involved from growing to eating!"

- Miche & Patrick
Vegeta-pals, Vancouver Island

And most importantly, what do the kids think?

“We have had lots of learning and fun, such as our online field trip and learning about the six parts of a plant (stem, roots, leaves, seeds, fruits, and the flowers) from our vegeta-pals. Some other things we learned are planting in an urban environment is called Urban Agriculture. Urban Agriculture is important because we can’t always rely on imported food. A good way to help is to plant seeds on your balcony backyard, or somewhere else.

- Brendan, age 10

Right now we can’t have anyone come into our class, but we are in the new Vegeta-pal Program. I am a vegetarian and enjoy eating and cooking with vegetables.

- Sabrina, age 10

“My Vegeta-pals are amazing and cool. I can’t wait until I learn about every vegetable so I can make salad every day.”

-Arianna, age 10

Victoria Program Update

Hello Growing Chefs! community,

We want to bring you up to speed on some island-based happenings we have been working on, and introduce you to some of our friends and collaborators.

Springing into Action!

This spring, we had an amazing group of over 25 volunteers excited and ready to share their knowledge in Victoria classrooms. We were geared up for one of our biggest years yet, expanding our reach with 5 new teachers and 2 new schools to offer the Growing Chefs! program to over 100 kids. Unfortunately, we did not get the opportunity to connect in schools, but we found new ways to reach even more kids and families online!

As you may have seen, our team had a lot of fun finding creative ways to bring our Spring Classroom Gardening and Cooking program online, with Growing Chefs! at Home. We could not have done this without the help of our amazing volunteers who helped us continue to serve our mission by sharing their knowledge and expertise via video.

Growing Together From a Distance

Growing Chefs! is proud to have joined Growing Together as a key collaborator to form an island-based initiative of food literacy organizations and growers to support our communities in these unprecedented times. We look forward to curating educational materials and resource listings, as well as promoting opportunities for mentorship and volunteerism.

This website is the hub for the Growing Together initiative. Stay tuned! You can also check out this Growing Together video to learn more about our mission.

Feature Spotlight from our Victoria Growing Chefs! Community

Indecent Risotto

Chef Andrew brought the Growing Chefs! Program to the island in collaboration with the Island Chefs Collaborative (ICC) in 2014. Chef Andrew and his partner Shannon have been major supporters of the program, volunteering in the classroom and participating in our Eat. Give. Grow. fundraising campaign. Together as local food champions, they run Indecent Risotto. We dig what they are up to! *Virtually passes the mic*:

Here at Indecent Risotto we believe that in order to cook great food you need to start with the best ingredients. From day one on our food truck we have always bought as many local ingredients as possible. From working with local farms for all of our produce, to local producers of meats, seafood and cheeses, we attain more than 80% local ingredients during the peak summer months.

The best part about doing things this way are the relationships that we have formed with our amazing suppliers. It is our way of building up our communities and truly understanding what it takes to create a local food economy. We feel honoured to be able to go directly to the farm 10 minutes down the road from us and see the changes the seasons bring. Being able to look at a crop and know in two weeks there will be a fantastic new ingredient ready for us to use is the best!

Growing Chefs! at Home: Lesson 7

Growing Chefs! staff member Christine is here to talk to you about the basics of soil and composting and why they are important for growing our food, and Chef Brennen from our volunteer team brings us into his backyard to introduce us to some of his friends.

Plus we’ve got two fun science experiments you can try at home to explore more about soil and compost!

Getting ready for exploring soil and composting - For this lesson, all you need is is your thinking cap!

Today we will talk about Soil and Composting. This is an introductory video to understanding what soil is, and why composting is so important. Not only for environmental reasons, but also for the added benefits of using compost as a delicious food for your plants at home. 

Now we know a little more about what components make up healthy soil, what compost is and why composting is important!

Below we have a great video for you with another of our incredible classroom volunteers - Chef Brennen! Brennen brings us into his backyard and introduces us to his worm farm!

Our Spring program is aimed at kids in grades 1, 2, and 3, but folks of all ages will likely learn something new! If it’s possible for an adult to be around during these lessons, that would be great. Our growing chefs might need their help a couple of times. We will let you know in the video when there are good moments to offer some help.

Related Activities:

Understanding Compost - Build your own at home Soil-arium and explore how compost breaks down creating nutrient-rich soil for our plants. Full activity outline and video found here.

Identifying Soil Type - Become a soil-ologist and examine the soil in your own yard and garden. Learn about the different components of soil and find out what grows best in each type of soil. Full activity outline and instructional video found here.

You can find this new online content here on our website, and we are making announcements about it on our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). 

Thank you so much for your patience while we reinvent ourselves and our programs.

How Plants Grow - Celery Experiment

This week, we are learning about how plants grow and how all the parts of the plant contribute to their growth. Here is a fun and easy way to demonstrate how the stem (also called a stalk or leaf stalk) of a celery plant carries water and nutrients all the way from its roots up to the leaves of even the tallest of plants.

You Will Need:

• A celery stalk (or two) with leaves still attached

• A cup or mason jar

• Water 

• Food Colouring (red or blue work best for this experiment)

Instructions: 

1) Cut the bottom inch off on the celery stalk.

2) Fill the jar about halfway up with water.

3) Add 5 or so drops of food colouring into the water (a few more drops if you have a larger vessel with more water).

4) Place the jar in a sunny location and wait 2 hours.

5) Observe the celery stalks. You may see the food colouring working its way up the stalk (moving through the xylem of the celery plant). Xylem are tiny tubes in the plant (like veins in our bodies) that move water from the roots to the leaves in a plant. Because we have added food colouring to the water, you should be able to see the colour as the water moves up the stalk toward the leaves.

6) Break off a small piece of the leaf stalk, you may see food colouring in the xylem.

7) Wait overnight. In the morning, observe your celery stalks and leaves. Did the food colouring make its way to the celery leaves?

Discussion Questions:

What happens to the water once it reaches the leaves?

• Some of the water is used by the plant’s leaves to make food through the process of Photosynthesis. Sunlight provides the energy for plants to make carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) and water into sugars (food) and oxygen (what we breathe in).

• Sometimes you might notice droplets of water on the ends of the leaves of a plant, this often is a good indicator for houseplants that the soil is very moist. When a plant has more water than it needs the leaves release some of this water to be evaporated into the air from its leaves. This process is called Transpiration and can actually help the plant take up more water.

How is the water and food colouring moving up the plant?

• The process of water moving from roots to leaves is called Capillary Action. Water molecules like to stick together and to the walls of the tubes that make up what is called a plant’s xylem. These tubes run from the plant’s roots, up the stem, and all the way up to their leaves. As water then evaporates from the leaves it pulls up more water from the roots helping water to move up the plant.

This week we’ve been talking about and learning the six different parts of a plant. In this activity, we learned about how the roots, stem, and leaves of a plant all work together to help it get the water it needs using a celery stem. When we eat celery we are eating the stem of the plant (also called a stalk or leaf stalk) of the celery plant.

• Think about what other stems, roots, flowers, seeds and leaves we eat on a regular basis. You may never look at your favourite vegetables in the same way! 

Expansion Activity:

Try using a large celery stalk and splitting it from the bottom to about halfway up the stalk. Place one half of the stalk into a container with blue food colouring and the other half into a container with red food colouring. What do you think will happen when the colour from each reaches the part of the stalk where the two halves are joined? What will happen when the colours reach the leaves?

Don’t forget to wrap up this experiment by enjoying a delicious celery snack. That’s right - this celery is still edible and yummy, so don’t let it go to waste!

Growing Chefs at Home: Lesson 6 - How do plants grow?

Chef Selma and her broccoli friend are back! This week, we will check in on our garden and chat about how plants grow! How is your windowsill vegetable garden doing?

Getting ready for this lesson

If you have a little windowsill garden going, make sure you are close to it for this video, because we will be talking about what you can see in the garden!

Materials needed for this lesson:

• Clean pair of scissors

• Colander or bowl

• Sheet of paper

• Pencil

• Coloured pencils or crayons

• Parts of a plant activity sheet (if you have access to a printer but not required to enjoy this lesson)

Today we’ll talk about plants, how they grow, and the different parts of a plant as well as think about some different vegetables and what part of the plant they might be. There are some exploring, writing, and drawing exercises in this lesson. You can expect this lesson to fill about 20 minutes. Be sure to keep scrolling past the video for some additional at-home activities!

Related Activities:

1. Get moving and stretch out with our follow-along video of our vegetable stretch!

2. How do the parts of a plant work together and how does water get from the roots to the leaves? Check out this simple science experiment we’ve outlined for you to do at home using a celery stem to track the movement of water up the plant to the leaves.

3. Our gardens are growing more and more every day now. We’ve got a fun BINGO game to get kids exploring in the garden and to teach them some new garden and plant-related words! A note that some of these terms are a bit more advanced making this a fun learning game for kids of all ages and adults alike! We’ve prepared 5 different bingo cards as well as a list of these new terms to explore here.

Our Spring program is aimed at kids in grades 1, 2, and 3, but folks of all ages will likely learn something new! If it’s possible for an adult to be around during these lessons, that would be great. Our growing chefs might need their help a couple of times. We will let you know in the video when there are good moments to offer some help.
