It is surprising how many children don’t have a full understanding of where our food comes from! By visiting a farm they can see firsthand where and how they get their favorite foods. Taking children to the farm exposes to them to the understanding that plants are grown and meat comes from animals.
Green gate farm has now developed an educational program that is both fun and interesting for the children. It teaches children about farm life, farm animals and how they help us.
We would like to personally invite you and your class to spend some time on our farm. Bring your school group to Green Gate farm and let them get "hook up" with their food, let them discover where the food comes from .A visit to our farm present a great opportunity for your class to interact outside of the classroom .

​
A Farm visit may teach your child to understand:
​
1. Where food comes from( from farm to plate)
When your children pick food with their own hands, they learn to appreciate where food comes from and the work involved in making every meal we enjoy. It also gives them a special connection to farmers that they can’t experience at the grocery store.They can make the connection between what is on their plates at home and how food is grown
2. Farming and food production
​
3 Healthy eating
​
One of the best ways to get kids excited about eating healthier foods is to let them go out and examine the fruits and vegetables for themselves. When you take your children to pick their own produce, you expose them to healthier options and make it fun for them to choose delicious whole foods.
​
4. Greater sense of gratitude to Animals
​
Animals that are found in our farm includes:
> Rabbits
> Chickens( with some breeds found only on our farm)
> Ducks
> Turkeys
> Ducks
