EACH UNIT IS FOCUSED ON A
DIFFERENT KEY COMPONENT OF
THE FOOD LIFE CYCLE, INCLUDING:
PLANT IT - Soils and worm composting
Students learn the basics of soils and how to create their own
worm-composting bin to encourage participation in agricultural
hobbies, such as gardening.
GROW IT - Organic, sustainable growing
Students learn about natural farming methods and sustainable
lifestyles.
SEE IT - Vegetable crop tour
Students tour field crops and learn how we incorporate
sustainability into our farming practices.
TASTE IT - Fruit and vegetable tasting
Students taste and learn how to prepare some of the crops that
they saw growing in the farm. Creating the connection between
agriculture and the food we eat.
SAVE IT - Water conservation and technology
Students learn the importance of water and technology, with
emphasis on helpful water saving tips that can be used at home.
Students will walk away with resources to encourage continued
learning and discovery at home. We would also like to create
tools for teachers to use in their classroom after the field trip,
such as videos, handouts, and lesson plan, if funding is
available.
