Connecting children with the farm and fresh food - to learn about nutritious and healthy eating.



The Sylvia Center brings the farm experience into the lives of children in neighboring towns and cities. Through hands-on activities at the farm, children learn about freshly grown food – its flavors, textures, seasons – and how it is farmed. The children plant, harvest and taste. They tend to the farm animals – chicken, rabbits, pigs and ducks.

In a time of health crisis for America’s children and the disappearance of home-cooked healthful meals, The Sylvia Center reconnects children, and through them their families, to real foods and real flavors and the joy that comes from cultivating
the land.



The curriculum demonstrates nutritional principles in a child-friendly and enticing fashion. Our working farm and the creativity of our culinary professionals impart to the children a message of appreciation for good food and healthfulness.

Children use their harvest as the foundation for a meal they prepare and share.




A farm is a unique environment for children – a magical backdrop where they can explore, learn, heal, take chances and imagine. Katchkie Farm has many features uniquely appealing to children. Click on image for full size PDF.
