Full Description
This field trip is offered in the fall (September and October) and spring (April, May, and June) at our Vancouver sites.
Situated at Vancouver Technical and David Thompson secondary schools, our schoolyard farms are a short walk from many secondary schools and community centers. All field trips include farm work experience and a chance to harvest and taste vegetables, when seasonally available. Email us about different field trip time and duration opinions. We require 1 teacher/chaperone for every 10 grade 4-12 students.
