Make This Summer The Summer of Salad!

This Summer, we're celebrating all things salad, green, and growing while also raising money to promote healthy eating and food education. We'll have lots of amazing activities, guest contributions from local chefs, and of course, salad recipes to share throughout the month so be sure to stay tuned.

Here are a few ways you can help:

  • Spread the word about the Summer of Salads to friends, families and fellow educators
  • Make a donation to TasteWise Kids
  • Challenge friends to eat salad this Summer and donate the cost to TasteWise Kids

Check out below for more details about our programming and partners and get tasting!

Help Spread Salad Love

You don't know the true power of a salad until you hear about our food literacy programming. For some Baltimore area students, they've never tasted a radish or made their own dressing before. Through hands on programming like our Days of Taste or community events like Food Story Time, we inspire kids to engage with their food and teach them to make healthy eating choices that taste good too!

You can help fund at home salad kits, classroom materials, in-person events and more by donating to TasteWise Kids. Give the gift of salad love!

A Salad Adventure

Each month we create a special bingo board to help kids and their families try new foods, discover tastes, and learn about how plants grow. May's bingo board is an extra special salad adventure.

Join us at the Waverly Farmers' Market on Saturday May 13th for a group salad hunt where you'll meet Baltimore area farmers and put together a super tasty salad. You can also print your salad bingo board and bring it your closest farmers' market anytime throughout the month for a self-guided adventure.

At-Home Activities

From learning about salads from all around the world to starting your own salad garden at home, we have lots of great activities included in our TWKatHome content. Our at-home activities are designed for a range of ages and can often be done with only household materials like paper and writing implements.

We also share some great reading suggestions to learn more about salad and prompts for discussion!
