SCHOOL PROGRAMME
Incredible Edibles
Helping primary school kids learn all about healthy eating while discovering where fruits and vegetables come from.
Introduction
Incredible Edibles is an engaging, experience-driven healthy eating initiative designed for primary schools and delivered by Agri Aware across Ireland. The programme teaches children how to grow their own fruits and vegetables, while also exploring the journey of food from farm-to-table and emphasising the significance of quality ingredients.
Additionally, it underscores the vital role that fresh produce plays in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, and encourages children to enjoy at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
Programme Overview
The Incredible Edibles programme has been refreshed with exciting new tasks, content, and prizes for 2025! We also have more ways for Schools to get involved through quizzes and our School of the Month competition.
All registered schools will receive seed packs to grow radishes, carrots, lettuce, turnips, French beans, onions, strawberries, and potatoes. Schools that participated in the School of the Month competition, completed the new quizzes, or submitted a project in 2024 will unlock an expanded grow pack, including a window propagator, recyclable pots and compost to help kickstart their own growing adventure.
At the end of term, students will be invited to submit one class project that shows what they’ve learned. The possibilities are endless, and submissions can be in the form of a poem, story, artwork, video, or presentation!
Registrations for 2025 are now closed, and all participating schools should have received their packs. If you missed out, feel free to use the resources available on this page until registration for 2026 opens.
