Field Trips are day trips to local farms. The trips aim to 'connect city folk to their food source' and farmers to their consumers. Eating locally, reducing our carbon footprint and healthy living are hot topics these days. However, we are saturated with media messages and it is often difficult to make sense of it all. Field Trips provide a hands-on learning experience to help educate 'city folk' about why eating locally is incredibly important to our own health and to the collective health of our communities. We get out of town and breath some fresh air. We meet the amazing people who grow our food and we get a little muddy!
People come home refreshed, rejuvenated, inspired and enlightened.
