🍫🐄 "Do brown cows make chocolate milk?" Beli

🍫🐄 "Do brown cows make chocolate milk?" Believe it or not, this is one of the most popular questions among our 1st graders!
🥛 Let's take a moment to appreciate the inquisitive minds of our young learners. While it may seem amusing, it's essential to nurture their curiosity and provide accurate information.
So, here's the answer: Chocolate milk is made by adding cocoa or chocolate syrup to regular milk, regardless of the cow's color. Brown cows produce the same delicious milk as black, white, or spotted cows. 🥛🐄
Let's keep encouraging curiosity and learning in our little ones. What other interesting questions have you heard from children lately? Share them with us!

Community, art, and good food - the perfect combin

Community, art, and good food - the perfect combination! Today was a special day as we had the chance to do what we love most: connecting kids to real food. 🥦🍎
Huge thanks to Briana Thompson for inviting us to be a part of an unforgettable evening at the Multicultural Family Center. It was an amazing event centered around art, bringing together teens and families from diverse backgrounds.
There's something magical about seeing young minds light up when they discover the wonders of nutritious, delicious food. 🌱🍽️ It's moments like these that reaffirm our belief in the power of community and the transformative influence of art.
Let's continue to nurture and inspire our future generations, fostering a love for good food and creativity. Together, we can create a world where everyone has access to healthy meals and the joy of artistic expression. 🌍💫
