    My daughter would LOVE this! I've been looking for a cooking class for her since she's asked and everything is for kids ages 6 and up. She's 4 and an inspiring chef! Pick us!

    I love to cook and my kids love Tanaka Farms. What a great combo to learn to cook for the kiddos! I would love to take my oldest son to this class.

    We have not been to Tanaka Farms yet but it is near the top of our to do list. We know several people who have visited at different times of the year and they have all raved about it. This class sounds like an amazing opportunity to explore and learn something together. We would love to win!

    Would love to win this! Our family really likes Tanaka Farms and as nerdy as it sounds we enjoy watching cooking shows together often oohing and aahing over the yummy recipes. I like the fact that the cooking class will most likely emphasize using fresh fruits and veggies. So it'd be a triple win for us. Only problem would be deciding which of us 6 would go!

    The Tanaka Farms cooking class is on my list of two dos with my daughter. We are constantly talking about the importance healthy choices and trying to find good things to cook together. I'm a single parent and time is always an issue but I won't give up, it's just too important! Good food cooked simply is exactly what we need! Keeping my fingers crossed!

    growing up on a farm myself i am always trying to teach my 3 kids the importance of "natural eating" and that veggies and fruits don't come from the grocery store. we would love to play around with new fun ways to prepare food.

  20. shana says:

    I 'like' Tanka Farms 🙂 My kids are skeptic eaters and I want to encourage great and healthy foods by showing them how its all done.

  21. stacey says:

    My 5 yr old son Gavin loves cooking! Rather than watching cartoons, he searches the tv channels for cooking shows! Once he finds one he yells, " Mom hurry, you have to watch this!" He then gets me a pen and paper and makes me watch and take notes for the ingredients. We then head to the store to purchase the items! He's a picky eater, but if it's made by him he will always eat it! Gavin would go crazy if he got a cooking class! Please pick Chef Gavin!!!
