Sign up for your field trip to Arcadia Farm now!

The D.C. Farm to School Network is excited to announce that registration for our spring field trips to Arcadia Farm is NOW OPEN! We'll take 3rd & 4th grade groups of up to 50 students each for interactive visits to our sustainable farm located at Woodlawn, a National Trust Historic Site in Alexandria, VA.

Arcadia Farm field trips will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30am to 1:30pm from April 10th though June 14, 2012. We're especially pleased to offer transportation scholarships to help cover the cost of buses to and from Arcadia Farm for qualifying D.C. schools.

The field trips are aligned with age-appropriate curriculum standards, and teach students

• 1) how to grow food sustainably with the natural cycles of the earth;
  
• 2) which fruits and vegetables are available in our region during different times of the year;
  
• 3) how farm-fresh food is different from processed or fast food; and
  
• 4) that fruits and vegetables can be healthy and delicious!

We hope to see you out at the farm soon!
