There is something for everyone at Blackwood!
Field Trips
From September to April, we offer age-appropriate, multidisciplinary programs for students from 1st through 12th grade*. Students learn about agriculture firsthand on a working farm, including everything from food cycles to soil science.
Field Trips Overview
Our programs:
• Introduce students to the concept of food systems.
• Teach students how food is grown, what makes a system sustainable, and the value of a healthy diet filled with locally grown meat and produce.
• Show students that it is possible – and advantageous – to grow food that doesn’t need chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial inputs.
Field trips are optionally TEKS relevant and geared toward your subject and larger curriculum. Whether you’re part of a girl scout troop, home school group or a public school, we can accommodate your pedagogy.
