We started offering farm tours to our students. Students travel to a farm where they are served a hot breakfast prepared by the farm staff.  Brief presentations are made regarding our partnership and the importance of local farms. Afterwards, students meet the farmers and ask questions before going out and picking fruit. Students are allowed to eat what they pick.
