Homeschool Field Trip: What the Presidents Ate

Explore gardening and cooking with fresh, seasonal themes and lunchtime activities designed to meet the flexibility and curiosity of homeschoolers.

Transform learning into an adventure with hands-on field trips that inspire a love for healthy, whole foods! Students explore the journey from garden to kitchen, discovering seasonal ingredients, cultural cuisines, and creative ways to add more plants to their plates. These interactive experiences combine gardening, cooking, and fun activities to spark curiosity, teach essential skills, and promote a lifelong appreciation for nutritious eating. Perfect for independent learners, these trips provide the flexibility to meet their interests while fostering peer connections and new discoveries.

Did Thomas Jefferson really invent mac n’ cheese? How did tamales play a part in Gerald Ford losing an election? Which president loved barbecue the most? At this hands-on field trip, we’re cracking open old American cook books to discover what the presidents ate. Discover how contributions from African American White House Executive Chefs and First Ladies shaped the way we ate as a culture.

$60/student, ages 10-17
