Eleven time slots are available for groups of 50 each day. You should allow 2.5 hours to complete the event. Everyone will receive a pizza card passport, stamped with each station, which contains educational facts about the Pizza Farm. At the end, each participant will enjoy a pizza lunch – with fruit, ice cream and water, and a gift bag with a brochure designed for the parental guardians about the educational components of the event. Reserve your group’s time slot by contacting Beth Horne at 770.228.7214 or at e-mail address bhorne@uga.edu.
By using the theme of a pizza, the Pizza Farm:
- Exposes urban youth to Georgia’s agricultural commodities
- Shows how physical activity and a healthy diet play a role in a healthy life style
In addition to being a fun and educational event, participants will receive a healthy pizza recipe that could be shared with family and friends.
The stations include:
- Get Moving – physical activity through dance
- My Plate – basis for good nutrition
- Dough & Wheat – connecting wheat to dough
- Herbs, Vegetables, & Tomatoes – produce used for sauce
- Dairy – associating a cow to milk and cheese
- Meat Toppings – live stock commonly used in meat toppings
- Evaluation – assessing what was learned
Registration is $20 per classroom. Please register by contacting Beth Horne at 770.228.7214 or at e-mail address bhorne@uga.edu.
