School to Farm Days

School to Farm Days bring together 4th-grade students and agricultural professionals for a day of hands-on agricultural education. Classes visit a variety of "stations" with each one focused on a particular agricultural area such as dairy, maple, bees, chickens, horticulture, wool, etc. As students rotate through the stations, they learn about local agriculture while making connections to our vital food and fiber systems. Core academic concepts are woven through the presentations including science, social studies, math and more. Join us for a fun-filled, educational day!

Tapping Into Maple Tradition

Tapping into Maple Tradition digs deeper into maple sugar production to uncover a wide variety of core academic concepts.
