What Parents Need to Know

About Chefs A'Field: Kids on the Farm

Parents need to know that this educational series -- which is filmed on location at local farms and restaurants around the world -- teaches kids how foods are grown, harvested, and prepared. Young viewers will get exposure to the basics of raising fruits, vegetables, and livestock, and they may be inspired to plant their own gardens and lend a hand in the kitchen after seeing other kids' culinary masterpieces. While the content is fine for viewers of all ages, the show's very elementary feel best suits early grade-schoolers.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the foods they eat get to their home. Kids: Have you ever thought about what goes in to growing and packaging fruits and vegetables? Where do you think the foods you eat come from? Are any of them grown locally? Why would that matter? Which foods are your favorites? What recipes do you like them in? This show offers families a great reason to tour local farms in their area, buy some of their fresh produce, and join forces in the kitchen to prepare a favorite dish or two.
