The Lower Elementary students will be taking a full day field trip to the Sylvia Center at Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook.

During this 4-hour immersive program on Katchkie Farm, students walk like a farmer and think like a chef.  As they tour the farm and taste their way through the Learning Garden (which is home to over 200 different things to eat) we encourage students to try new foods and to think about how the fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even flowers they are tasting, could serve as an ingredient to a meal. Youth take part in every step of the story of food including planting seeds, pulling weeds, harvesting organic produce, and creating and sharing a meal together.  In addition, youth also have the opportunity to meet (and hold!) our chickens, collect eggs, pet the sheep, and visit with the pigs.
