FARM TOURS, an interactive educational exploration

Venetucci offers tours of the farm. These tours can be an overview of the entire farm or a more in depth exploration of one particular aspect. Tours can be tailored to fit a specific curriculum need and each tour is adapted to the age and interest of students and teachers.

Past tours have covered an array of topics including, for older students: how we run a diversified small farm, food economics in the modern world, the importance of local farms and how we farm sustainably and without chemicals. For our younger visitors we often focus on the roles played by the farm animals (both domestic and wild) and how that fits into growing the plants and animals we raise for food.

These tours are open to groups of all ages from pre-schoolers through college students and adults. All tours include hands-on experiential activities, which vary with the seasons.

Costs: $4/student, (Venetucci Farm’s policy is to not turn away groups due to financial need. Please contact David Rudin, Education Coordinator in such instances).
