Did You Make Johnny Cakes at Harvest Festival?
For over 20 years, thousands of visitors of all ages have been making this New England staple at our Harvest Festival. They grind corn (left), prep the mixture, and watch as the batter is cooked over an open fire. The cakes taste great, but also help young learners understand where their food comes from. 

Download the activity and recipe from our resource, Cultivating Joy & Wonder. All 75+ activities from the same title are available as free downloads here.
