Farm to Table

This hands-on 5th grade field trip day is an opportunity for students to participate in a day of exploration, education, and activities to increase their understanding of agriculture and where their food comes from. Stations include Beef, Dairy, Sheep, Vegetables, Soils, Water, Bees, Wheat and so much more. Half way through the day, all who participate are served a lunch that has a direct connection to what they learn about during the day. Students and teachers alike commonly share the "Best field trip EVER!"
