Field Trips
ASK YOUR TEACHER TO TAKE YOU TO THE FARM!
- Programs for Classes -
From Kindergarten to Highschool!
All our Farm Field Trips start with an interactive and enthusiastic exploration of the farm. Get ready: We will touch soil, kiss goats, listen to the bees buzzing, pet chickens, smell horses and taste veggies right from the market gardens! So much fun!! Besides our hands-on teaching style, we love getting into juicy discussions about agricultural practices, ecosystems, food security, sustainability... Throughout the Farm Field Trip, hands-on experimentation and discussions will complete your students' learnings in Environmental and Social Sciences curriculums. See below our different programs and choose the one that best fits your class' interests and learning objectives! 2025 Pumpkin Fest At Southlands Heritage Farm Our Farm offers pumpkin fest field trips for preschoolers and young elementary students during the month of October.
