Farm Days Season is Upon Us

From Spring through Autumn, hundreds of Marin County students will visit Marin Organic farms with their classrooms for experiential learning and hands-on education. The Marin Organic School Lunch and Gleaning Program is eager to host students to teach, glean, and play in the fields with students! As winter comes to a close, harvest season inches near, and Marin Organic Farm Days spring season is opened. To learn more about how to connect students to learn and teach from our local organic farms please visit our website.

Below you can view the work of Marin Country Day School (MCDS) sixth grade students from Bob Densmore's science class. Bob is also known as Mr. D, or in my case 'dad'. This video is one of many from last springs MCDS sustainable agriculture project. After visiting Star Route Farms in Bolinas on a Marin Organic Farm Day and spending many classroom hours of research and post-production, this is the result. Great job Mr. D and the students at MCDS!
