Description

Caregiver and child cooking classes for 7 to 11 year olds and caregivers with pediatrician and chef Dr. Auden McClure.

In this hands-on experience, children and adults will cook side-by-side. We'll learn to prepare a delicious vegetarian dish using produce from the farm, build essential kitchen skills, and choose ingredients together to make the recipe their own. This class is all about connection and confidence—cooking together, enjoying the meal together, and taking home any leftovers to continue the experience at home. We’re excited to empower families to cook together and celebrate the joy of making and sharing food as a team.

Dr. Auden McClure is a pediatrician and chef with a passion for bringing healthy, delicious food into the everyday lives of kids and families. Alongside her clinical work, Auden is a trained chef and has taught many interactive cooking classes designed for families with children of all ages. She loves helping kids get excited about cooking, tasting new foods and building confidence in the kitchen. At Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center, she is delighted to share her dual passions — healthy, flavorful food and hands-on learning — by guiding children and parents in fun, meaningful cooking experiences that support their overall health and well-being.

These classes are designed for one child (ages 7–12) and one caregiver to build skills and spend quality time!

Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center

Cedar Circle Farm and Education Center is a non-profit educational organic farm located on conserved land along the Connecticut River in East Thetford, VT. Our farm is a community hub with a bustling farmstand, coffee shop, commercial kitchen, native plant nursery, retail greenhouses, cut flower garden, and diverse education programs.

We are a working farm—growing certified organic vegetables, berries, greens, herbs, native plants (not yet certified), and cut flowers on about 25 acres—with a deep commitment to developing regenerative agriculture systems for our annual vegetable and flower production.

Cedar Circle operates as an organic farm with a social mission, and we prioritize involving members of our community as we develop and share practices that promote regenerative agriculture, good health, and a resource-rich environment. Our educational programming for learners of all ages aims to build connections between our food, ecosystems, and community.

For over 25 years since its inception, the Farm’s practices have evolved to incorporate regenerative organic principles, and the Farm’s purpose and activities have evolved to include a thriving education program and opportunities for community engagement.
