Educating Students on the Farm
Deer Meadow Farms began hosting educational programs in 2011 and we have been refining our programs to provide the best possible experiences for students during their visit. All Field Trips focus on providing education and context for students to learn and experience the country in a safe and positive way. From our Hands On approach to our Junior Farmer philosophy that 'everyone should plant & grow something', we have developed and pioneered one of the best school programs in MB.
There is definitely no better place to connect your students with their food source than the Farm! Deer Meadow Farms & The MB Hobby Farm Association are dedicated to educating students about the place the farm has in supporting our very existence.
