Strawberry Field Trips 2024

Experiential Learning…And Lots Of Fun, Too!

Experiential learning is a process in which children can holistically obtain knowledge through education, then perform what they have learned through real-world application.

Field trips to our farm provide students with impactful and formative experiences. Our objective is to educate students on food sustainability, Georgia agriculture, harvesting, and the role of farmers.

Our strawberry patch provides a fun, hands-on, and scholastic experience where growing minds can learn, watch, process, do, and play!
