About the Program: 

THE MARIN ORGANIC FARM FIELD STUDIES PROGRAM brings children and young adults from around the Bay Area to local farms. Students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning where they make connections between the environment, agriculture, and the food they eat. Our goal is to empower young people to make food choices that will positively impact their long-term health. Knowledge of where food comes from is a powerful tool for teaching good nutrition. Experiencing farms first-had can inspire young people to become active participants in a sustainable food system as consumers, and even as growers of their own food!
