Program Description
This is a 30-minute class option that can be added to "Pick Your Own Field Trip: Animal Experience, Wagon Ride and Your Choice". There is a minimum of 10 children. Backyard Farm (April-October only): Students will rotate through the different stations in the Backyard Farm including raised beds, a compost display, pollinators and a chicken coop for an experience that will bring to life the process of sustainable agriculture. Students will plant a seed to take home and be inspired to have a healthier lifestyle and be better stewards of our environment. Animal Experience and Wagon Ride: Students will also learn about the variety of animals that reside at the Suffolk County Farm while getting hands-on experience touching and feeding. The wagon ride is a fun and educational way for students to observe a real working farm by viewing the crops we plant and the equipment we use. To schedule your customized field trip, email ccefarmgroups@cornell.edu.
