Join us at Missoula's outdoor classroom - the PEAS Farm.
About
Garden City Harvest offers educational field trips to the Garden City Harvest/EVST PEAS Farm for elementary, middle, and high school classes during the school year, and summer field trips to anyone interested in getting to know the PEAS Farm.
Seeing how food is grown first-hand gives students a direct connection between agriculture and their everyday lives, and gets kids excited about healthy, nutritious food.
Visits to the PEAS Farm provide enriching experiences for students through educational lessons and participation in everyday farm activities. Using the PEAS Farm as an outdoor classroom can allow teachers and students to integrate concepts of science, math, art, history, and health in a real life situation. Students can learn about many topics firsthand, such as life cycles, farm animals, and ecology as well as local agricultural techniques and history. These concepts are conveyed through hands-on tours and lessons such as how to make compost, the agricultural history of the Rattlesnake Valley, or discovering how large one acre is.
