​​At City Farm SLO, kids connect with food and where it comes from. 

In addition to fruits and vegetables, at City Farm SLO we are growing the next generation of scientists, sustainable farmers, environmentalists, and change-makers. During On-the-Farm Field trips, students deepen their knowledge about science, environment, and health. By meeting and working with farmers on our property, they put this knowledge into immediate, practical use while heightening their appreciation of fresh produce that they participate in growing. On-the-Farm Field Trips are conducted by our skilled farm educators in precise alignment with CA Common Core and California’s Next Generation Science Standards at each grade level.

On-The-Farm Field Trips Include: 

​

• Two hours of instruction led by our skilled farm educators

• 4 Stations of hands-on activities covering concepts in science, environment, and health. Lessons/activities are aligned with CA Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards at each grade level.

• Farm tour and time to meet & greet farm animals

• Instructional materials for preparatory or follow up lessons
