Marin Agricultural Land Trust - Farm Field Studies Program
K-12 students meet the farmers and ranchers who grow our food, find out how animals are raised and how crops are grown, participate in farm activities, and gain an appreciation of the skill and hard work that goes into producing food. Participating farms include dairies, beef and sheep ranches, oyster farms, and organic vegetable farms.
Slide Ranch
Slide Ranch is a teaching farm located at a historic coastal dairy in the Marin Headlands. Organic gardens, goats, sheep, and chickens, alond with numerous coastal trails, tide-pools and pocket beaches, provide an ideal outdoor venue for teaching about healthy foods, healthy living and environmental awareness. Hands-on weekday and overnight farm workshops are offered for all ages.
Students participate in professional restoration projects on ranches, farms, school grounds, and other public lands. They also apply and deepen their knowledge of academic subjects through exploring creek ecology and hydrology, bird and aquatic insect studies, water quality monitoring, mapping, native plants, and nature writing and art with the assistance of STRAW staff and partners.
