Farms
Farms
What are they and what do they involve?
A farm is a venue devoted towards the cultivation of livestock or crops and can come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from small, dedicated establishments to huge farms that make many different products. Activities such as animal encounters, outdoor experiences and many more can be found on farms, and they’re fascinating places to visit to learn about how organic food is made.
What are the benefits?
Learning about farms and what goes on there can encourage students to be curious about the potential uses of everything around them and better their understanding of where food comes from (whether it is of plant or animal origin).
What students is it suitable for?
Some older students may find the novelty of visiting a farm has worn off as it can be quite common to have visited many farms in childhood, but in general it should be suitable for everybody!
Costs?
Admissions to farms are usually either reasonably cheap or free, but make sure to check beforehand!
Safety Implications?
Working farm machinery and/or animals can have their hazards, so make sure groups (especially young students) are carefully supervised.
