Trip to Whole Foods

Children were excited and curious to learn about different vegetables and fruits. How they come to stores and why we have to buy them and do not grow them all at home. All children asked several questions, as weworked on  our vegetable garden in the back yard. Now children love to pick up vegetables and learning to make healthy choices of food. Together we made a list of questions and went to whole foods  to find the answers to our questions.
Questions they asked...
1. Why vegetables and fruits are healthy?
2. How all vegatables and fruits taste different?
3.How does the farmers grow sooooo many vegetables and fruits?
4. How they bring it to the farmer's market and stores.
5.Why people do not grow what they want in their houses?

6.I want o try some different fruits and vegetables ,how do they taste. ( some kids wanted to try).
They asked the workers at Whole food their questions and they very gently and patiently answered their questions. Then  i asked the manager for the tour of store ,because children want to know and satisfy their curiosity. Manager sent agirl worker with us who was very knowledgeable of the store's working and opretional systems. She was gentle with children and satisfied them very well. even she did let them taste some of the exotic fruits and vegtables. Children got  ballons and stickers as token of appreciation from whole foods.
