Field trips, complex or simple, connect students with their local food and agriculture system in tangible, exciting ways. Possible venues include local farms, processing facilities, farmers’ markets, grocery stores, community or school gardens, or even school cafeteria kitchens. “Micro” trips to a school cafeteria or garden or to nearby neighborhood stores or markets are practical when budget and time constraints preclude longer trips. Student learning on field trips can reinforce classroom learning in multiple areas, including science, math, health and social studies, and deepen understanding ofconnections among agriculture, diet, health and community well-being.

An alternative approach is to invite a farmer or chef to visit the school and talk with students about his/her involvement with the local food system.

Consider the following ideas and resources in planning Farm to School field trips.

Initial Planning

It’s helpful to consider some basic questions:

• What do you hope to accomplish with a field trip, and how will the trip support learning in classroom subject areas?
• What are possible places to visit in your area? Talk with and explore opportunities for field trips with school teachers, and administrators, as well as parents and community members and Cornell Cooperative Extension professionals who all may know of potential places to visit.
• What is your budget for a field trip?
• What do you need to do to prepare students for a field trip? What do they need to know ahead of time?

Farm Visits

• Making the Farm Connection: A Guide to Field Trips for Farmers by the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) will be helpful for farmers interested in having students visit their farms.
• The first part of The Hayride: A Resource for Educational Farm Field Trips by the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project will be helpful for teachers and others who are planning to take students to visit a farm.
• A Farm Field Trip Guide: A Hands On Curriculum for Farm-based Education by Green Mountain Farm-to-School provides trip tips for farmers and teachers, lesson plans appropriate for different kinds of farms, and forms to use in planning a trip.

Upper Valley Field Trips

A collaborative effort of geog 7: landscapes of new england.

Exploring Vermont Farms

Vermont is home to over 7000 farms, leading the nation in farmers markets and farm stands per capita.  Taylor Farm  and  4 Corners Farm  both make it their top priority to supply goods from a wide variety of products to shoppers in rural Vermont and New Hampshire. While Taylor Farm offers high-quality cheese and dairy products to customers in the Vermont area, 4 Corners Farm offers fresh fruits and vegetables to its Upper Valley customers. By doing so, these farms reflect the intimate agricultural relationship between the local community and farmers. They are valued not only by the products that they produce, but also by the tradition that is embodied in them. As you explore the farms, it will be easy to note the ways that these farms and their farmers interact with the landscape and how said landscape reflects not only the food they produce, but also the manner in which they use the farms to make their living. The two farms are different in their production output, but similar in the way that their everyday choices reflect their environment. Farming is vital to food production and during your trip to these farms, be sure to consider the life of a farmer, and the nature of using farming to make a living.

After visiting these farms, hopefully you will have a greater understanding of the demand for local products from small northern New England farms and the processes of producing these foods, as well as gaining insight into the life of a farmer and the unpredictable nature of the occupation.

Taylor Farm

To reach the  Taylor Farm   from Hanover, New Hampshire, you’ll need to head west on Wheelock Street and cross the Ledyard Bridge into Vermont. From there, hop on Interstate-91 and head south forty miles until you hit exit 8. Then proceed to take a right onto route 131 west. In the town of Ludlow, Vermont, take a left onto route 100 south. Follow the road a few miles; after passing through the town of Londonderry, the farm will be on your right. On the route to the Taylor Farm, you will pass through several small New England towns. As you drive through Ludlow, you will be able to point out  Okemo Mountain Resort off in the distance. Also, notice the businesses in the town and to whom they are geared. For example, the motels and ski gear shops target vacationers visiting the resort. Lastly, on the way to Taylor Farm, note the many small market places, village stores and general stores that serve people in the local communities and people visiting from other parts of the country. You will also pass through several small towns, like Cavendish, Vermont, that consist of easily-recognized town commons such as open greens and recreational areas.

In the winter Taylor Farm offers sleigh rides.

Taylor Farm is a 180-year-old farm located on Route 11 in Londonberry, Vermont. Being part of the Vermont Land Trust, it is assured that the land on which Taylor Farm resides on will always be used for agriculture. Upon arriving at Taylor Farm, first visit the shop where their nationally recognized gouda cheese is sold. According to John, the head farmer there and the brains behind converting a simple dairy farm into a famous cheese farm, maintaining small farms and having small local production within the community could very well play a vital role in the future. John is one of fifty cheese makers in Vermont, the state with the most cheese farms per capita than anywhere else in the country.

John in one of his milking facilities.

Besides making cheese, one of John’s main sources of income comes from milking cows. John and employees milk cows and then sell the milk to cooperative firms such as Agrimark . Agrimark is a broker: it buys milk from farmers and then sells it to big retail companies such as Cabot Cheese . According to John, the upper echelon retail companies achieve most of the profit from selling the milk, and the farmers get whatever is left over. This led John to go into cheese production fifteen years ago, which is far more profitable than selling milk.

John explained that the cheese must age for two months due to Vermont law, but the two month wait is worth it. He can either sell 100 pounds of milk for $17 total or convert the 100 pounds of milk into roughly ten pounds of cheese, which can be sold at $16 per pound. Converting the raw milk into cheese yields a higher profit for John and the farm, yet cheese production is cognizant on supply and demand of the milk market. When milk prices are high, John will primarily sell milk, but when milk prices are low, they designate more resources to making cheese. In the fall of 2014, due to the drought in California, milk prices were high and John focused his energy on milk production. The farm does not have the facilities to pasteurize milk, so the milk that John sells in his store is raw, which is far heavier and thicker than the milk found in most grocery stores.

In addition to cows, John keeps animals such as dogs to help with tourism efforts.

After stopping by the store, take a walk around the farm. As you approach the barn in the back, you will see three different sections of Holstein and Jersey cows. There are typically 25 milkers at a time in the stalls, as well as one donkey. John tries to keep the cows as long as possible; many people milk cows for two years then sell them for beef, but John is usually able to maintain milking his cows for twelve years by only milking them every three to four months. He has also narrowed the genetic base of his cows to have high-production pedigrees. There are only fifteen genetic lines of pedigree cattle, and John keeps many genetically different cows to ensure that a single virus specific to one species does not destroy all the cows in that species, which would then leave no cows to milk.

As you walk around the farm, also notice the landscape. 120 years ago, eighty percent of Vermont was cleared. Now roughly eight five percent of that is reforested. Why do you think that the landscape has varied so drastically over the past century or so? John notes that maintaining fields such as the ones on his farm where the horses roam in addition to general farm upkeep takes a tremendous effort, requiring typically four employees at a time.

“Tom” and another friendly turkey, “Carlos.”

As John explained, many farms today rely on tourism as a big source of income. Because of this, he has implemented fun activities no matter the weather, such as sleigh rides in the winter. John also lets many of his animals, which are all extremely friendly, roam around the farm so that visitors can pet them and view them at a closer distance. John owns a three-year-old sow with six piglets, of which he explained are probably one of his best investments not only for the production of manure, but also for tourism – kids love seeing the pigs. One animal especially friendly is a turkey named Tom. While not fast enough to keep up the average human pace, Tom follows visitors around and is a favorite of those that stop by the farm. As well as turkeys, there are horses, pigs, goats, a donkey, and of course, the cows.

After taking a look around the farm, visit the facilities used to convert milk into cheese as well as the place where John and the other farmers milk the cows. Return to the shop and sample some of Taylor Farm’s famous gouda cheese. They offer maple smoked gouda, Vermont farmstead gouda with nettle, garlic gouda, and other varieties of cheese as well depending on the day you visit.

4 Corners Farm

A view of the 4 Corners Farm.

4 Corners Farm  is located in Newbury, Vermont. To reach the farm from Hanover or from Taylor Farm, head north on Interstate-91. Take exit 16 in Newbury, Vermont, and continue on route 5 north. The farm will be on your right. Start your visit to 4 Corners farm in the market on the lower level of the barn, in front of the parking lot, where most of the produce is stored for selling. During your visit, again note how the landscape of the farm affects the manner in which fruits and vegetables are produced.

Bob, the head farmer, explained that he began his business by first working for a farmer’s market, before developing a small farm stand of his own in Hartland, Vermont and eventually building the current-day farmstand in Newbury. Bob started growing vegetables in the 1970s. While he does sell raw milk and other types of food typical to a farmer’s market, Bob’s field of work is largely structured around growing and selling vegetables and fruits. Bob has been able to purchase multiple greenhouses in order to sell as many fruits and vegetables as possible.

A tomato plant growing in a greenhouse.

Next, take a look in a few of the greenhouses. Greenhouses are vital in northern New England, they extend the growing season from three months to six. Depending on the time of year, the fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouses will be at different stages of ripeness. If you are visiting in the early summer months, the greenhouses will be stuffed with celery, cilantro, peppers, and lettuce plants. However, at this stage of the growing season, very few of the fruits and vegetables are ripe enough to eat, so food in the stand underneath the barn will not be as plentiful as it would be if you were to visit in the late summer. In order to accomplish this, Bob makes sure to water the greenhouse produce every day. There is also a greenhouse used strictly for growing tomatoes. Because tomatoes tend to grow faster than other plants, Bob mentions that the easiest way to control their growth is by having them grow against a pole.

A look inside one of the greenhouses.

Bob also keeps many animals on the farm. He uses the cows that roam his fields as landscapers; cows can clean up steep fields that machines would not be able to mow. And the manure from the cows is very helpful for growing vegetation. In addition, a vital part to the continued growth of his vegetables is the use of bees for pollination.  Although difficult to keep alive because of pesticides, he still has bees in his farm for pollination.

An ongoing conflict for Bob has been finding people to work long hours in the fields. The state of Vermont, however, is associated with many immigrant programs, which is why Bob frequently seeks employment help from the south of the border. For this reason, many workers in northern Vermont are from outside of the United States because they do not mind the long hours and tough manual labor, while working for low wages.

Tomato plants in one of the greenhouses.

Vermont is a leader of the community-supported agriculture or, in other words, the Farmers Market. Because people increasingly want to buy local fruits and vegetables, demand for locally grown foods is very high. About 75 percent of the vegetables grown on the farm are sold through his farm stand, while some products, including strawberries, are sold to bigger grocery stores such as Hanover Co-op. According to Bob, on weekends people will travel forty to fifty miles to purchase products from the farm.

We hope you enjoy your visits to these farms!

17 Photography Lessons on a Farmers’ Market Field Trip

Edgar is my new best guy. How do you explain to your husband that every Friday you have a date with Edgar? That 12 to 2:00 on Fridays are set aside for Edgar? Sometimes you have lunch with Edgar. And finally, Edgar took you on the best date ever ~ to show you how to be a better you, to overcome your phobias and your fears, your insecurities. Edgar practically held your hand as you strolled through beautiful scenery. You know part of your life will never be the same. If that description doesn’t have you in a hot and bothered sweat or you are worrying what is the matter with me, then just chill for a minute. Edgar is a professional photographer and our date was  a field trip to the Farmer’s Market where Edgar gave me photography lessons. One of the best dates ever.

I read, I watch, and listen to videos. But wouldn’t it be great to have a hands~on, real live person show you exactly what to do with your camera? Someone you could ask questions of whatever topic you wanted? Well, during the month of June, I did just that. I had Edgar ~ that’s really his name. Three other ladies and I met almost every Friday with Edgar. And on our last date, we met at the Dallas Farmer’s Market to actually take pictures and critique our photos and try to copy (in a good way) what Edgar was shooting.

This post contains affiliate links to products that I love, use and high recommend. If you purchase any product through this site, I may receive compensation, but you don’t pay one penny more.

So a little background about my datemates. One is a part time blogger and the other 2 ladies are avid photography buffs, taking photos of family, trips, and their kids’ school activities. I’m the only one who takes photos specifically for a blog and social media. We all have different cameras and different lens. I’m the only one who uses PicMonkey and Lightroom. (Edgar uses Lightroom for his professional editing and we had one lesson that was just about Lightroom.) I’m the only one who focuses almost entirely on closeups. The others take pictures of sports and action across a field so they use zoom lens. What we all had in common was the desire to improve our use of our cameras and our photography.

What I learned about My Camera and Lens

My camera is a Canon Rebel T5. It’s my first DSLR. Another blogger whose photography I love (Paula at Thirteen Thoughts ) recommended it as a great camera to start with.(You can read about all about buying my first DSLR camera .) I love it because it’s lightlight, it is very reasonably priced, and takes great images. As I’m finding more and more, a camera (or any tool) is easy to use, once you know how to navigate through the menu. Normally, I’ll read directions, but when it comes to reading the small print in the manual, I just am not up to it. Edgar became my real live manual. We could ask him questions about our particular cameras and he showed all of us how to navigate through the menu.

DISCLAIMER: If you are a really seasoned photographer, you probably know all the stuff I’ve going to share. But if you’re not, please stick around because I hope the things I learned will help you operate your camera so much faster and easier. I figure if you learn 1 thing you didn’t know before, this post is worth reading.

• use those dials on your camera for the easiest way to change your settings
• the fastest way to erase images (MENU, Erase, Select and Erase, then use your ISO button to check images into the erase box; then hit ERASE on the camera just once.)
• all the blue icons are about taking photos: FOCUS SELECTION, DELETE, PHOTO VIEW
• the fastest way to change my focal point
• how to take pictures in live mode (that little white icon on the camera that I never paid attention to)
• you can change the number of images that you see in the viewer with the magnifying glass icon on the left
• you can zoom in on your viewer with the magnifying glass icon on the right

My lens is the 50 mm Nifty~Fifty and I use it for 80% of my photography. (The other 20% of the time I use the lens that came with my camera for wide angle and zoom shots or my iPhone when I don’t have my camera (restaurants) or I don’t have the time to get out my camera. I know tons of bloggers use the Nifty~Fifty because it takes great images, it’s relatively inexpensive and has a low aperture (1.8) for those blurry background shots we all love.  Edgar did say that, if you have a good filter on your lens, you don’t always have to keep your cover on your lens. Don’t you hate when you are ready to shoot and your lens cap is on?

Photography Lessons ~ Settings When It’s Cloudy

How many times have you heard that to be a better photographer, you have to practice, practice, practice. I’ve taken a stroll around our backyard just snapping pics for fun, just to practice and challenge myself to deal with really bright sun. I’ve taken so many shots in my kitchen when the light is really low jsut to see if I can use my camera and my post editing to make the photos usable. You can imagine the wealth of photo opportunities at the Farmers’ Market: so much color, shapes, and objects, all n natural outdoor light.

Edgar told us just to walk around and take photos of whatever we liked. Also, it was a partly cloudy day, so Edgar advised us to:

• set our cameras to AUTO. Since I’ve been using MANUAL for about 5 months, I was hesitant. But he explained that when the light keeps changing (cloudy to sunny and back again), AUTO is a better option. You don’t have to stop to make adjustments for the changing light. Inside, where the light is constant, MANUAL is the best choice.
• change our AWB (Auto White Balance) to CLOUDY (use the WB button on the camera and click over to CLOUDY).

I never think about changing these settings but he showed us on his camera that these 2 easy adjustments really make a difference.

JUST A NOTE: except for a little cropping and resizing, I didn’t do a single edit in Lightroom on these images.

Photography Lessons ~ Shoot, Shoot, Shoot

• Edgar showed us how to look for shapes ~round, curved lines and straight lines. Different shapes together creates interest.

I used a higher aperture on this shot, but the different shapes ~ round, long, and square ~ as well as the way the light shines on the tomatoes ~ gave me an interesting shot.

• Use shadows and light on your subject. This photo has a little too much light.

In this one I got the light to focus on the center melon, leaving the others in the shadows. It’s much more interesting.

• Take a picture of the same subject from different angles and different distances from the subject. Here I just kept getting closer and lower to the blueberries.

I focused on the blueberries in the front and got a little bokah with a lower aperture in the back.

And this one is really up close and I got crouched lower ~ glad I was wearing shorts. See that bluesberry in the center of the image? It’s like it’s dangling in space.

An up close shot

Then I stepped back and got more background for a more interesting perspective. I like the contrast of the greens in the lettuce with the pinks, blues and yellows in the background. Plus a person never hurts the photo.

• Get down and level with your subject for a different view.

I took this one at eye level. It had just a little bokah at the back.

• Use low aperture to get that bokah. (This lesson I already knew.)

• Sometimes dark and moody works. It took me several shots of these cherry  and grape tomatoes to mimic the one that Edgar took. He saw the visual appeal of the the one cherry tomato between the pint containers of other tomatoes. I loved the colors of the tomatoes against the aqua color of the pint containers.

Too much fuzz on this one.

Too much light and too close on this one. But I like the shadow that the tomato casts. The light was in front of me, behind the tomato.

Too much light. I opened my shutter speed up here. Not too interesting.

Not enough light. I really lowered my shutter speed.

This was my favorite. I love the “path” created by the line of tomato boxes, the bokah in the front of the image, and the shadow of the tomato. This was pretty close to Edgar’s image, but he did it on his first shot.

I loved the colors of the candles, but the arrangement really didn’t lend itself to an interesting shot.

A New Editing Tool with Lightroom

As I mentioned, I didn’t use any editing tools in Lightroom except some cropping and resizing. But there was one editing function on Lightroom I wanted to try. One of my favorite Lightroom gurus is Beth at The Skinny Boppy. Beth wrote The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Lightroom and this the course that I used to learn Lightroom earlier this year. It’s a great video course and I highly recommend it. Beth recently shared a video on Facebook about using the PHOTO MERGE feature in Lightroom. If you have a range of pictures where the EXPOSURE goes from too light to too dark, PHOTO MERGE will blend them together to give you a great image.

If you would like to purchase Beth’s course , you can do it right here.

The homemade pickle vendor was a great subject. These were some of the first images I took, before I switched from MANUAL to AUTO. The clouds kept coming and going and the image went from light to dark. I decided to try the PHOTO MERGE feature when I got home and here’s what I got.

Lots of natural light.

Then the clouds rolled in.

This is the MERGE image. About in the middle between the too light and the too dark. I will definitely be using this Lightroom feature more.

Pretty cool, right. Watch Beth’s video to see how to use this awesome feature.

One Last Photography Lesson

After taking photos outside, we went indoors to The Market where restaurants and other food and nonfood vendors have permanent shops. One of my favorite local macaron shops, Chelles, provided great photo opportunities. The lighting was a challenge: first, it was cloudy and second, all the lighting is tungsten, which gives everything a yellow cast.

• Camera Adjustment: WB button, switch to TUNGSTEN.
• Remember to reset the WB button back to AWB.

Before ~ you can see how the ceiling lights overexposed the top shelf with a yellow cast. The bottom shelf, which was hidden from the tungsten lights has blue cast.

After with some cropping, a slight rotation, and a little White Balance adjustment in Lightroom. (They are delicious, by the way.)

Take Away Photography Lesson

If you can work with a seasoned photographer one~on~one or in a small group like we did, the lessons you learn will be invaluable. Being able to ask questions as the topic occurs to you is a big plus. Having a really good photographer take a photo and trying to duplicate it for lighting and composition will really help you understand how to get great photos. A field trip is a super way to see other people’s cameras and lens and compare photography.

Congrats, your photos are gorgeous! Photography is my nemesis…….I’ve been using a DSLR camera for a number of years and have taken 2 classes and read up a lot on it but good photography still eludes me! Great to see that you have gone out there and conquered! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm! xo Kathleen|Our Hopeful Home

Carol, Yes, I need an Edgar and a standing date with him. Thanks for sharing your tips. I use a Canon Rebel 6 and need to study how to use it more to really get the benefits of all it can do.

Judith, we’re planning to get back together in the fall.Let me know if you are interested in joining.

Carol, I am so jealous! What a lovely opportunity. I have taken a couple photography classes and they have been invaluable, but I’d love to get out to that lovely Farmer’s Market with you and your guy, Edgar.

I’ve been using Lightroom for over a year and didn’t know about Merge..gonna give that a try.

Looking forward to hanging at Haven!

Until then, Hugs….Lynn

Lynn, there is always soooo much to learn about everything. I’m going to write a book one day, Why Blogging will Either Kill you or Keep Your Brain Growing. Can’t wait to see you at Haven.

I am so continuously proud of you! This is great! Keep going, Carol!

You are so sweet and I miss visiting.

This is great information Carol! I am looking forward to upgrading my camera later this year.

Pinning this for later.💜

Lisa, glad you liked it.

HI Carol Where do I find me an Edgar? Thanks! laura

Laura, A new friend of mine who knows I’m a blogger was referred to Edgar by a friend of hers who took lessons from him at the photography store where he works. He’s in Ft. Worth so he came to Dallas on Fridays to work with us. I would ask at your local photography store. Obviously less expensive if you can do it with some other people.

This is so good, Carol!! I need to spend some time with this post and my camera in hand. I need an Edgar too.

Stacy, we’re starting up again in the fall if you want to come and meet Edgar. Group date.

Farmers Market Field Trip

Sometimes it can be a challenge to get students out to a farm for a field trip. A teacher at Hazelwood Elementary came up with a unique solution this fall and took her students to the nearby farmers tailgate market!

On Wednesday, September 26th, fifth graders took a field trip to Haywood’s Historic Farmers Market here in Waynesville. Students were given a “Farmers Market Treasure Hunt” to encourage conversation with the farmers and also to ensure they were looking for and learning about a variety of foods. Our students were very good sports about tasting new foods. What a treat to see them walking around eating raw okra!
