Field trips at Crabtree Farms!

Greenlife Grocery has been kind enough to sponsor over 300 kids from Title One schools for 2010. The staff of Crabtree and all the kids have had a great time at the field trips! The children got to taste fresh squash, listen to stories, go on a tour of the farm, and even make their own salad dressing. Field trips to Crabtree Farms are a valuable teaching tool for kids, and they have a blast while they learn about farms, nutrition, fresh produce and more.

Quotes from kids:

“We got to make our own salad. It was good I wish I could take it home to show my parents…we got to eat some squash from the garden…we went to go get some salad from the garden. I wish we were still there. -Leontay

“I was so happy when my teacher said we are going to a field trip. Then we asked her where and she said to the farm. I said ‘I do not want to go to a farm.’ But when I came it was fun. You are the very best farm I ever went to. Thank you so so so so so so much.- Roqaya

“Thank you for letting us 5th graders come to Crabtree Farms. It was very fun there. I might come back next year!! It was wonderful how the farms showed us about how to plant fruits and vegetables. My favorite part at the farm was when you taught us how to make our own dressing to put on our lettuce. - anonymous 5th grader
