Just Food Co-op

Looking for some great food and farm related classes for your kids? We’ve got two great ones this summer, starting Thursday. But make sure to sign up soon… we need to have a minimum number of folks preregistered in order to hold the classes.

This class for kids will focus on the differences between white and whole-wheat products, the importance of wheat in our state’s history, and its impact on our diets. Participants will get a chance to grind wheat and complete an art project to help synthesize the information they have learned.

Wonderful Wool (ages 4-10 with parent accompanying)
Wednesday, July 14, 10-11:30am Cost: $12/$10 owners/per child. Please register by phone or with a cashier, 507-650-0106. Space is limited.
Meet at Riverside Park where the Northfield Farmer’s Market is held. Kids will love meeting a real live wool producer from Simple Harvest Farm. See what the wool looks like in its different stages – from sheep to fleece to yarn – and learn about how it is transformed. Then choose to felt a wool ball, do simple finger knitting, or learn the more complex four finger knitting from some local wool lovers. Parents are responsible for supervising their children as we will meet near the playground and river.
