Students will learn about the role of seeds in the life cycle of plants. Students will also observe, compare and contrast shapes, colors and textures of seeds found on the farm and use them to create mosaics.

This field trip includes a tour of the farm as well as a hands on "Farming" experience such as pruning, harvesting, seed starting, potting, etc.

Students will collect materials with various shapes, colors and textures found on the farm and greenhouse. They will use the organic materials to experiment with cyanotyping. Students will create observational drawings and sketches while waiting for their sun-prints to dry.

In this lesson, students will discuss the general life cycle pattern of most plants. Then, they will learn that flowers are where seeds develop in order to enable plants to reproduce. Further, they will tour the pollinator garden, and learn that pollination is key for this reproduction to happen. Finally, students will dissect flowers, identify their reproductive and structural components, and use their parts to create impermanent art inspired by Roku Inoue.

Native Americans from different parts of North America use a wide range of agricultural techniques. Perhaps the best known is the inter-planting of corn, beans and squash – a trio often referred to as the “Three Sisters.” In this lesson students will explore the tale of the "Three Sisters", visit our Field of the "Three Sisters", and discover first-hand how crops can benefit one another, while providing us with a well balanced, nutritious harvest. Participants will explore our Corn, Beans and Squash crops, gaining a better understanding of the plant cycle, plant parts, and the cycling of nutrients while engaging in hands-on planting, pruning, harvesting, cooking or seed saving activities.

This field trip inlcudes a tour of the farm as well as a hands on "Farming" experience such as pruning, harvesting, seed starting, potting, etc.

Students will begin their visit with a tour of the farm. They will meet our farmers, and experience a day in the life on the farm through hands-on tasks like harvesting, mulching, planting, pruning, seed saving, watering, and weeding. This lesson can be customized to meet the specific needs and interests of each group.

Students will engage in a medley of sensory activities as they tour the farm, including an herb scavenger hunt, harvesting and tasting garden fruits and vegetables, and exploring the pollinator garden by acting out the process of pollination as a bee.
An art making or seed starting activity can be added to this experience.

When you make a salad, do you ever think about the plant parts that you are eating? In this lesson students will harvest fruits, herbs, and/or vegetables from the farm to make delicious, nutritious seasonal multicultural recipes. Participants will learn about the structure and function of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds as they use the various plant parts to create a dish that celebrates the variety of edible plant parts found on the farm.

In this lesson, participants will engage in an exploration of herbs and create self care items using herbs. We will explore the farm and greenhouse to learn about what herbs are growing, how to identify them, and discuss their flavors, scents, and healing purposes. Students will learn how and when to harvest herbs growing on the farm as well as how to store herbs to dry and preserve them. Participants will create HERB BUNDLES, TEAS, BODY SPRAYS, SACHETS, SUGAR SCRUBS, or SALT BLENDS, inspired by seasonal offerings.

In this lesson, participants will learn about the life cycle of plants in a hydroponic system and investigate the importance of nutrients for plant growth at various stages of development. Participants will discover how plants grow without soil by seed starting/transplanting/harvesting and observing plants in a hydroponic system. Lessons are grade appropriate (K-8) and will take place in the greenhouse. This lesson will be customized to meet the specific needs and interests of each group.

Through observation and hands-on activities, students will learn about plants. Lessons are grade appropriate (K-8) and may include activities relating to the different parts of a plant, the plant life cycle, the process of photosynthesis, the vital role plants play in the environment by producing oxygen, different types of plants, their adaptations to various habitats, and the importance of plants to humans as a source of food, medicine and materials.

We know that all living things are made up of cells and our cells carry our DNA. What is DNA? Have you ever wondered what DNA looks like? What is a clone? Are strawberries clones?
In this lesson, participants will harvest strawberries and engage in a DNA extraction lab allowing them to see DNA strands with the naked eye.
After visiting the strawberry field, or hydroponics lab, participants will use our lab materials to break apart the cell membrane of a strawberry and separate the DNA from the nucleus. Participants will also learn how strawberry plants reproduce, identify and record the various parts of a strawberry plant, and (if applicable) propagate plants to bring back to their classrooms.

Through guided, age appropriate exploration of our compost and worm bins, your students will discover and understand nature’s system for recycling nutrients. Students will learn about the roles decomposers play in processing organic matter and get hands-on experience with what happens to all of the organic “litter” in the natural world. They will have the opportunity to see worms first-hand: gaining hands-on experience in composting techniques and the ecological benefits of both compost and worms.
