Field Trip Offerings (Preschool-Middle School)
Garden Exploration (1.5 hours)
Students tour one of our farms and learn about the history of the neighborhood, organic gardening, bees, worms and soils, chickens, the environment, and eating healthy foods. Students taste, touch and smell herbs, vegetables and flowers.
Service Learning (2-4 hours)
Students learn about organic agriculture, food justice and urban farming through hands-on work. Depending on the season and day, students participate in hands-on activities and learn about worm bins, composting, weeding, planting, and more. Food grown at Solid Ground’s Marra Farm goes to local food banks, meal programs and neighbors.
