While aware that school days are shortened, why not ask a local and a mega farmer to give a talk on where food comes from; my son, in the 60's thought it originated in the grocery store.

Gleaning is also an educational way for children to learn and profit from their work.  That's how my son first learned about food.

If we cannot educate our children about food growing and eating, they will become the educaters of their children, without the information they need to thrive.
