Engaging with our co-op’s youngest shoppers through fun activities on the farm and through food is normally a big part of our Annual Meeting. We searched for the most fun food, farm, and environment related activities and videos, then brought them all together here in our “Kids Corner.” Find videos of story time on the farm along with animal videos from Gale Woods Farm, DIY projects and ideas for all ages, and printable co-op coloring and activity sheets in the links below. Kids, please get permission before trying any of these projects on your own.
