UBC Farm welcomes Pre-K to Grade 12 students to our school field trips. There is a bounty of hands-on activities in our educational programs: exploring the apple orchard and honeybees, harvesting seasonal produce, foraging in the forest, and for older students, hands-on work in ecological restoration, gardening, and sustainable agriculture, just to name a few.
