Take a Trip to the Farm
Book a Field Trip @Lynchburg Grows: Trade out your classroom for our farm for the day!
Step into our living classroom where knowledge comes alive! We welcome students from all educational settings—Lynchburg City Schools, County Schools, alternative schools and homeschool groups.
Our hands-on field trips transform students into farm explorers as they embark on an interactive journey through our gardens and greenhouses. Each experience is thoughtfully aligned with grade-appropriate SOLs, making learning both educational and exciting.
Students don't just see the farm; they experience it with all their senses! They'll dig their hands into the soil, smell herbs, discover the importance of decomposers, and connect with nature in meaningful ways.
Throughout their adventure, students discover:
The fascinating journey from seed to table
How sustainable farming helps our planet
The importance of healthy food systems in our community
To finish the day, students enjoy tasting the vegetables they harvested themselves—with plenty of ranch dressing on the side! Even picky eaters love to try what they've gathered.
