Early Sprouts, KSC's award-winning effort to instill healthy nutrition and eating habits in preschool-age children by engaging them in gardening, exploring, and cooking fresh produce, was the subject of a New Hampshire Public Radio story on October 11.

Early Sprouts has proven itself as an effective way to get preschoolers interested in eating vegetables and nutritious food.
