Additional Notes

Situated at Vancouver Technical and David Thompson secondary schools, our schoolyard farms are a short walk from many secondary schools and community centers. All field trips include farm work experience and a chance to harvest and taste vegetables, when seasonally available. Email us about different field trip time and duration opinions. We strongly suggest a 1:6 ratio of adults to students for grades K-3, 1:8 for grades 4-5, and 1:10 for grades 6-12. Required adults are included in the group cost. If your group needs more adult assistance, please let us know on the registration form.
