Cultivating a Seed-to-Table Mindset
2023-10-02 10:00 - 11:00 | Center for Health & Wellbeing, 2005 Mizell Ave, Winter Park, FL, 32792, United States
Join Brad Jones, a founding member of Edible Education Experience and a Garden Educator to discuss the seed-to-table practice.

It’s challenging to hear the phrase “seed to table” and not think of it as either a lofty ideal that shames current food practices, or else just a charming marketing ploy for the new trendy neighborhood café. It’s challenging to witness all the individual problems society has with food — a street full of chain restaurants, school lunches hardly counting as food, the aisles and aisles of processed snacks in the grocery store — and internalize the reality that we are dealing with an entire food system that limits our choices. Food has become a commodity, a chore, fuel in the same sense that brings us to the gas station.
The team at Edible Education Experience aims to influence how the Central Florida community thinks about food. Experiencing the entire seed-to-table cycle gives a more accurate and meaningful view of the closed-loop process that brings a carrot to a dinner plate. Understanding what this system looks like allows curiosity and engagement with it, inspiring more informed, value-based decision making around food. Evolving “seed to table” into an accessible lifestyle requires compromises and conversations; we all must make decisions that work best for ourselves, but we all must work together to create a system and a community that supports those decisions. In this class, led by Brad Jones, a founding member of Edible Education Experience and a Garden Educator, you will explore the seed-to-table discussion, celebrating the natural process of food, and the people, cultures, and communities that cultivate it.
Program note: Please bring a notebook and writing utensil for note-taking.
This program is presented by Edible Education and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
About the Presenter:
Brad Jones began his garden education mission when he initiated and led a gardening program at Orlando Junior Academy fifteen years ago. Inspired by Alice Waters’ assertion that “if you grow it and cook it yourself, you’re going to want to eat it, even kale,” Brad collaborated with parents and teachers to change the way students and their families were thinking about food, winning the University of Florida’s School Garden Competition along the way. A founding member of Edible Education Experience, Brad finds his joy as Garden Educator, guiding students of all ages through the many lessons a garden can teach us. It is his deeply-held belief that finding pleasure and meaning in food is just as important to wellness as the nutrients within, and he upholds EEE’s mission to inspire wholeness from the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing a love of good food can give us.
Edible Education Experience offers hands-on programming for students of all ages, and that includes you. From the garden to the kitchen and back again, students experience the full sustainable cycle of where food comes from, gaining the confidence and curiosity to engage with that system. Yes, we’ll teach you cooking techniques and many ways to enjoy plant-based eating, but the true treasure we want to share is the seed-to-table mindset. This involves you, and you have a place at the table.

Food as Medicine: Whole Foods for the Holidays
2023-11-15 18:00 - 19:30 | Center for Health & Wellbeing, 2005 Mizell Ave, Winter Park, FL, 32792, United States
Join Chef Collette Haw and Daria Igudesman, PhD, nutrition researcher and Registered Dietitian to prepare holiday favorites with whole foods

The holidays are the ideal time to savor traditional dishes in the company of family and friends. In a world where “convenience is king,” we may sometimes avoid preparing meals from scratch. One reason to spend those extra 15 minutes in the kitchen using whole foods instead of pre-packaged items is to limit the amount of ultra-processed foods we consume. Over time — and especially during the holidays — emphasizing minimally processed foods can have big benefits for our overall health.
Join Collette Haw, a chef trained in holistic health, and Daria Igudesman, PhD, nutrition researcher and Registered Dietitian with AdventHealth’s Translational Research Institute, in preparing their whole foods renditions of a few holiday favorites. By attending this class, these appetizing recipes will inspire you to shop the perimeter of the grocery store and choose fewer pre-packaged items in the center aisles to nourish both your body and your spirit this holiday season.
You have two options for attending this program – save your seat in the Nutrition Theatre or click here to register for our free webinar and watch it from home. Whether you’re watching from inside the Nutrition Theatre or from home, you’ll also have the opportunity to share your questions and comments with Collette and Daria during the program.
This is a demonstration-style cooking program, so our in-person attendees should prepare to sit back, relax and let our chef prepare the meal while you enjoy the delicious items. All attendees, both online and in-person, will receive a booklet for the following menu: Crispy Walnut Maple Baked Apples with Oats; Kale and Roasted Cranberry Christmas Salad and Whole Grain and Lentil Turkey Pot Pie.
