Learning Grows Here

Our field trip programs connect life on the farm with the food, clothing and other necessities students use every day.

During each visit, students build a better understanding of how agriculture affects daily life and develop an appreciation for the farmers and ranchers who help put food on our tables and clothes on our backs. Programs reinforce the standards below through age-appropriate, hands-on learning.
