EMPOWER KIDS.
FEED THE FUTURE.
The Little Food Festival is a celebration of possibility – two vibrant days of hands-on activities to spark curiosity and excitement about the entire food system.
From the soil where food is grown to the tables where it’s shared, we showcase the magic of food and the role we all play in shaping a sustainable future.
Early childhood experiences are pivotal to how kids see the world and the choices they make. By helping them understand the connections between food, health, and the environment we’re planting the seeds for lifelong habits.
When kids fall in love with the magic of food – how it’s grown, prepared and shared – they grow up ready to care for it, protect it, and champion it.
The Little Food Festival empowers the next generation to imagine a brighter future, where people and planet can thrive.
