Farm advisors with the University of California Small Farm Program are embarking on a search for potentially profitable vegetable varieties not commonly found in grocery stores — and this time they are sharing the adventure with elementary school students, as part of the "Great Veggie Adventure." This adventure is an effort launched by the makers of Hidden Valley Salad Dressings to identify a vegetable that few people have heard of, but that children might just love.
The University of California Small Farm Program focuses on the challenges and opportunities of California's small-scale farm operators.
We develop field and marketing research aimed at the needs of small- and moderate-scale farmers, and provide that information to farmers who are often not reached by traditional extension programs.

The program is a statewide part of the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
