Cooking Field Trips
The Real Food Academy
Our cooking field trips are like nothing else students have ever experienced. Of course, there are all types of fun field trips for your students, but our program may be the 1st time your students have the opportunity to have a hands on experience with food.
Many of the students who take part in our field trips walk away with a new appreciation of where food actually comes from. As you already know, there are countless benefits to having occasional field trips for your students. But, can you think of a better impression to make on your students than teaching them how to cook or bake nutritious, healthy meals they love?

The duration of a field trip can vary based on several factors:
