FIELD TRIPS
|
| |
Field Trips are for school-aged children to learn about food, science and nature hands-on. During a Field Trip to the Farm, students engage in various activities that are farming related (making potting mix, planting seeds, tasting unusual vegetables). These activites are hands-on and enable the students to exerpience urban agriculture first hand. The activities can be tailored to the groups' age and grade.
