“It all starts with a seed. When kids plant, tend and harvest vegetables, they are more inclined to eat them. We see it over and over again at Zenger Farm,” said Jill Kuehler, Executive Director of Zenger Farm. “We are proud to partner with Burgerville to encourage families to plant a garden this spring and cook with what they grow.”
