Every Tour Stop Becomes A Teaching Moment

This 60-minute adventure will be customized to your group’s learning level by a trained tour guide. Hands on learning will include sampling heart-healthy foods, and actually feeling whole grains. We also stress environmental and financial health. They’ll be reminiscing about this trip all year!
