Farm Visit Programs
Farm Visit Programs
A visit to the farm can simply be a walk around the farm, you are welcome to utilize your own lesson plan, or you can take advantage of one of the programs that we offer. All of our programs include practical activities and a guided tour of the farm. Depending on your preference, the time available for your visit, the number of children and the age of the children, we can plan a program with you. We offer the following three visit options (click here for a print version):

Educational packages
From farm to plate:
Harvest your own vegetables from the farm and prepare healthy farm food together with your group. Depending on the size of your group, the students will prepare vegetable peanut soup, bake their own bread on a stick, oven-vegetable-cheese-roast, healthy salad and/or a fruity dessert.
The 5 senses:
A great program for the younger students, to understand which five senses belong to which five body parts, and to learn how they help you to discover the world around you. Fun and educational games on the farm.
Waste and ecobricks:
You will learn about REJECT, REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE, and how to help your community by turning an environmental problem into a great solution: ecobricks. Bring clean and dry plastic garbage (such as sugar packs, bread bags), and empty pet bottles.
Healthy growing:
This gets students to examine the plant life cycle and how it relates to us: How do we plant? Learn the parts of the plant. What parts of plants do we eat? What do the students eat? Activities include making a hanging mini shamba with lettuce, tomato and/or flowers, so students can take their garden home. (Bring your own empty plastic bottle.)
Vegetable knowledge:
Do the photo challenge to test your knowledge about vegetables. Harvest some vegetables and learn about different types of vegetables and their benefits for your health.
Bee farming:
(coming soon) Did you know that bees are the only insects that produce food for human consumption? If bees disappeared, humans would not survive for more than four years on earth. Honey bees are an integral part of humanity and a necessity in agriculture as pollinators. We have our own beehives where your class can learn more about the amazing bee.
If you like to have a specific lesson on topical areas/areas of interest, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to personalize your visit. We’re also keen on connecting the lessons we offer at the farm with the subjects you’re currently covering in the classroom.
