In Today’s Founder’s Feature of the Women on the Move podcast, we’re speaking with Erin Croom, co-founder of Small Bites Adventure Club. Sam and Erin talk about Erin's mission to revolutionize food education for children and instill a love for fruits and vegetables. Erin shares her vision for the Small Bites Adventure Club, aiming to empower teachers across America to lead engaging food education programs. The goal is ambitious yet crucial: she envisions every child naming five vegetables and confidently making their own snacks before reaching first grade. As Erin unfolds the story behind Small Bites Adventure Club, listeners gain insights into the program's hands-on approach. Teachers receive monthly kits containing everything needed to lead food education, from Super Power Kale Pesto to Summer Salsa. Erin also emphasizes the importance of partnerships and scaling nationally, highlighting recent expansions to California and North Carolina. The conversation delves into the challenges of picky eaters, and Erin shares a transformative moment when a child, initially hesitant about trying zucchini, ended up describing it with enthusiasm—a testament to the power of curiosity and exposure. Tune in to this episode for an insightful and uplifting conversation that explores how Small Bites Adventure Club is sowing the seeds for a healthier, more food-literate generation.   Disclaimer: The speakers’ opinions belong to them and may differ from opinions of JP Morgan Chase & Co and its affiliates.
