Farm to School Days at ALBA



ALBA hosts several Farm to School events with local schools to help children understand were their food originates as well as the importance of sustainable farming that supports the production of local healthy foods in their area.



Part of our field day is to introduce kids to cultural farming practices like integrated pest management, which often includes insect collections and identification of common pests and benefical insects.



Happy bug collectors.





Kids finish the day with a lunch of locally grown fruits and veggies taken right from our farm.
