school field trips
We offer educational field trips that help students learn SOLs and Foundation Blocks of Learning from pre-school through 3rd grade.
A few generations ago most people lived on farms or still had family on a farm. Now there is a definite disconnect from the production of food to the eating of food. Students visit a real family farm, it is a working farm without "cute " staging. In April we offer our "Where Our Food Begins" and in May we offer the "Strawberry" field trip. In October and November is the popular, non-scary "Fall Harvest Tour".
All our field trips are lead by family members and teachers that are retired teachers or have worked with children. Our smaller groups lend themselves to better learning.
Don't just take our word for it, please read comments from our evaluations:
