ART BY ANNA TAKAHASHI

Meet Olivia and Josh. They’re ready to go on an adventure to discover healthy foods in South Florida. And you’re invited!

Food Explorers love trying new foods and finding out where their food comes from. Their journey starts with growing fruits and veggies and knowing when they’re ready to harvest and eat. They know how important it is to read labels and understand what we’re eating.

Along the way, Olivia and Josh have come up with games and activities to make it fun to learn about healthy foods. And they love to cook! They’ve shared easy recipes using some of the fruits and vegetables they’ve discovered. You can try them at home for family and friends so they can join your adventure, too.

Once you know about the fruits and vegetables that grow here and learn how to prepare them and make delicious, good-for-you meals, you’ll be a Food Explorer for life — and you can bring your friends and family along for the ride.

Ready to get started? Let’s go!
