TasteWise Kids is a Maryland-based nonprofit (501c3) organization dedicated to inspiring kids to explore and experience the world of food and its sources. We operate with a single goal in mind: to offer children fun ways to learn about food and inspire a lifetime of positive, healthy eating habits. We empower children of all ages to think about food in new ways, to explore their own sense of taste and to realize that flavorful, nutritious food and good health go together – naturally. As part of this work, students also see first-hand where food comes from and learning about the importance of agriculture and respecting their environment.​
