Suzanne's Big Day of Giving Fundraiser

Before the pandemic, Yolo Farm to Fork offered cost-sharing grants to Yolo County schools to support field trips to local organic farms. Through the "Go Visit a Farm!" program, we sent hundreds of local classes on field trips that combined farm exploration, interactive discussion, and hands-on farm activities. 

This fall, our goal is to once again offer Yolo County students this unique experience that addresses school curriculum topics while also making important farm-to-table connections.

The cost to send one class to a local farm is $800-1,000. My goal this Big Day of Giving is to raise $1,000 to send a local school classroom to "Go Visit a Farm!"

While on field trips, every student participates in a harvest or farming activity and is encouraged to eat the produce that grown on the site. Student learning activities may focus on compost, parts of a flower, growing your own vegetables, pruning and caring for a fruit tree, keeping chickens and other livestock, composting worms, and learning about beneficial insects and birds that keep the farm healthy and sustainable.

Thank you for supporting local teachers and students with a generous donation to Yolo Farm to Fork!
