Province-wide
GRADES K TO 12 | FALL & SPRING
Can’t get your class to one of our out-of-school programs or want to supplement a program or lesson plan with a fun, engaging activity? We will come to you to facilitate a fun, hands-on curriculum-aligned presentation right in your classroom!
One of our dynamic team members will guide your class through an age-appropriate presentation exploring a relevant aspect of food production. We'll bring all the supplies needed and take care of the mess afterward! Each presentation requires approximately 1 hour of class time. There is no cost to participate in this program.
Fall 2025 Classroom Presentations:
GRADES K-3:
Soil Horizon Snack - Students will explore the layers of soil in a fun and interactive way by creating a soil horizon snack cup.
