WHO:
The Marin Agriculture Land Trust (MALT) sponsers the Marin Farm Field Studies Program. The aim is to help broaden students' understanding of local agriculture and the links between farms, school gardens, nutrition, and health.
WHAT THE FARM FIELD STUDIES PROGRAM DOES:
K-12 students meet the farmers and ranchers who grow our food, find out how animals are raised and how crops are grown, participate in farm activities, and gain an appreciation of the skill and hard work that goes into producing food. Participating farms include dairies, beef and sheep ranches, oyster farms, and organic vegetable farms.
