School Excursions

In 2009 we launched our connection with local schools.  We invite school groups to visit the Organics Fresh & Wild farm to see a commercial farm in operation and connect our future generation with the land and the food they eat.  We would like to create an ongoing relationship with schools and integrate with the general school curriculum.  We believe that the reconnection of our children with food and cooking skills is fundamental to fighting the current epidemic of obesity and food related diseases.

Basic School Visit Program:

• Welcome to the farm and health and safety overview
• Lets meet the worms – a look at the worm farm and the use of worms in building up a healthy soil structure
• Using the soil – a look at the seedling nursery
• Making soil – discovering how compost is made
• What does real food look like? – a walk through the main production areas, including harvesting of seasonal produce
• Lets eat! – cleaning and EATING the harvested produce
• From here to where? – looking at how produce is stored (a visit to the cold rooms) and how it gets from the farm to the plate
• Meeting the other farm animals – say hello to the horses and cows
• Farewell

The basic program usually takes about 2 – 3 hours.

A school visit costs $250 for up to 50 students (for a group of 50 this is equivalent to only $5 / child).  We can not accommodate  more than 50 students at one time.
