Join us this Saturday, Sept. 22 from noon to 1:30 p.m. for a recipe tasting from HealthBarn USA founder Stacey Antine, M.S., R.D, author of APPETITE FOR LIFE: The Thumbs-Up, No-Yucks Guide to Getting Your Kid to Be a Great Eater. 

The Brunch Sampling will feature recipes from the book that include fresh local food produced at Abma's Farm. The book includes more than 100 kid-tested and -approved recipes developed at HealthBarn USA, the first of which opened here at Abma's Farm in 2005. 

Appetite for Life's message: Getting kids to try and to enjoy healthy foods need not be a chore or a challenge. The book serves as a guide to help parents transition picky eaters into healthy eaters. In it, she shares her techniques for helping families to change their eating habits from fast food to natural food using the tools from the fun and effective HealthBarn USA program. 

Stacey will also be on hand to sign books, which will also be available at the farm. APPETITE FOR LIFE: The Thumbs-Up, No-Yucks Guide to Getting Your Kid to Be a Great Eater is also available for sale at Amazon and BN.com.
