Our Trips

Unexpected Eats

“You can eat that???” Yes, you can! Explore often overlooked foods on our farms and in our indigenous plant garden as you learn about ethical foraging and some of the traditional food and medicine uses of common plants.

Evolution on the Farm

How many plants are related to broccoli? Why can’t we grow coconuts in Vancouver? Explore these questions and more as we dive deep into the evolution of food crops through natural and human selection, and the effects of climate on our food.

All About Cycles

Winter to spring to summer to fall, seed to fruit to seed, experience how the cycle of the seasons affects the life cycle of the plants we eat.

Get Creative

Art is all around us, including on the farm! Try your hand at making root veggie stamps, painting with leaves, making veggie collages, or other plant-based art projects. Exact projects will vary depending on plant availability.

Welcome to Fresh Roots

Get a taste of what Fresh Roots is all about! Activities will vary depending on age, size of group, and the needs of the farm, but you can expect to learn about how Fresh Roots came to be, learn about food and food systems through play, participate in farm work, and try some farm-grown food!
