Farm-based field trips!

A visit to the Sauvie Island Center is always a memorable event. We offer elementary school students a guided exploration of the 130 acre Topaz Farm site, which includes our Grow Lunch Garden, farmland, and many other amazing features of the site.

Field trips include:

• Soil Exploration: Dig in and learn about healthy soil.
• Seed to Harvest: Plant, tend and harvest the Grow Lunch Garden.
• Plant Parts Investigation: Explore the farm and plants we can eat.
• Wildlife & Food Web: Who else has been foraging on the farm?
• Pollination Station: Meet these hard-working farm friends.

Fall 2024 field trips will be offered by invitation only.
