ENROLL IN THE LITTLE CRITTERS CAFÉ HERE

Join us on the CSA Farm for an 8-week mud kitchen cooking class where we will forage for ingredients and create a variety of recipes. These include, yet are not limited to: soups, salads, sandwiches, entrees, and of course dessert.
In this program, caregivers can expect their children to practice newly emerging motor skills, develop social skills through both imaginative and cooperative play, and foster a deeper sense of connection to nature. This class is best intended for ages 2-7 and is a rain-or-shine event. It is always wise to dress for a mess! Caregivers are required to remain with children for the duration of the class. This is a mock kitchen, all ingredients are inedible and are not to be consumed.

Parking fees may apply, see the hours page on our website for details.
Transactions will be processed through the Natural Heritage Trust, fees cannot be refunded for participant cancellation.
For any additional questions, contact our Education Coordinator K.T. Williamson via Email: KT.Williamson@parks.ny.gov
