BEDFORD – Food, Fun, 4-H is a free, at-home cooking program that unites families in the kitchen and at the dinner table.
This program gets young people in the kitchen and provides experience in preparing home-cooked meals, trying new foods, encouraging family time, developing communication skills, and having fun!
In partnership with Lost River Market & Deli and IU Center for Rural Engagement, Purdue Extension-Lawrence County will offer a once-a-month, Meal Kit Program during the months of July, August, September, and October.
Each month, families will pick up their boxes on Saturday morning during the Bedford Farmer’s Market (July 8, August 12, September 9, and October 14). Boxes will contain the ingredients and recipes for four different dishes (enough servings for a family of four)- entrée, two sides, and a dessert.
Families are encouraged to take their boxes home, explore them together, and create their dishes. Boxes will also contain other educational materials and family challenges. Families will then be asked to submit a photo to be eligible to receive their next box.
For families that complete all four months, there will be additional incentives provided.
You do not have to be a cooking expert to sign up. The recipes and materials will show you each
step from start to finish. We want you to have fun.
Space is limited, and the program is open to the first twenty (20) families that register. You do not have to be a 4-H member or affiliated to participate.
