Field Trips

During a field trip or tour to UGArden, students and participants explore the farm while learning about sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and community food systems. Our hope is for everyone to walk away with a general understanding of how healthy soils help healthy crops feed healthy people.

Field trips are structured according to grade-level, group size, and crop seasonality! Activities may feature the topics of cooking and nutrition, herbs and teas, compost and cover crops, or beneficial insects.

Field trips are offered at a flat rate of $5 per student with teachers, parents, and chaperones attending for free. We prefer to schedule these trips on Tuesday or Thursday mornings, but can accommodate your scheduling needs given enough time in advance.

Visits run between 1-2 hours and can accommodate up to 60 students. Participants will be divided into groups and led through hands-on activities.
