Grow your own.

This year my kids have grown their own vegetables in my fathers garden, they haven't grown much just some runner beans and some carrots but you should see how proud it makes them that for dinner they are eating the things that they grew in the garden!

I feel that this has helped with getting them to eat more veggies, seeing the whole process through. Planting the seeds themselves, looking after the plant, watering it etc and then finally being asked to go out into the garden and pick the vegetables and then helping to prepare them and cook them for that evenings dinner.

You do not need to have huge amounts of space. http://www.squarefootgardening.org/ this is a website for gardening in a small area.

Getting children involved in the whole process be it growing the food or going out and choosing it at the shops really helps them feel responsible so therefore they are more likely to eat it.

Try it and see what results you get!
