Field Trips to the Farm

Our mission is to build food sovereignty and community resilience in the gulf south with sustainable farming as the foundation. We aim to teach and practice intentional land stewardship to ensure that future generations have the skills and resources to grow and eat nourishing fresh foods. Our goal is to teach children K-12 ecological stewardship, the basics of where their food comes from, and how to make healthy eating decisions using a place-based, experiential, hands-on curriculum. Our most utilized program: Field trips FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCE  When students sign up for a field trip with us, they will receive a guided tour of Sugar Roots Farm's animals, vegetable & herb gardens, and composting site with one of our Farm Educators.  The curriculum for each tour will be based upon K-12 state science standards. We love to make intentional connections between what students learn in school and what we focus on in the outdoor classroom. Weekly schedule for reservations: Monday through Wednesday and Fridays. Time: 10 am - 12 pm Cost per person: $8 (this includes educators and chaperones).  The total number of visitors per field trip: is capped at 60, including students, educators, and chaperones.
