Dig In Kids! Education

Field Trips

Field Trips are for K-6th grade 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 (such as planting seeds and tasting unusual vegetables). These activities are hands-on and enable the students to experience urban agriculture first hand. The activities can be tailored to the groups’ age and grade.
