Farm Learning Experiences puts kids and young people directly on working farms — not in a classroom talking about agriculture, but standing in a field, hearing from the farmers who grow the food we eat.
Every tour is built in partnership with local farmers and community organizations, so what gets taught comes straight from people doing the work, not a curriculum written somewhere else.
Four Steps to Hands-On Learning
We partner with working farms
We organize the tours
Farmers lead the learning
We connect it to innovation
Scheduling, logistics, and group coordination are handled by GRIS, so farmers can focus on hosting, not planning.
Each tour is shaped around the host farm's own story — what they grow, how the business runs, and what's changed since they started.
Tours don't stop at 'this is how a farm works' — kids see the technology and new practices farmers are adopting today, so farming reads as a modern, evolving industry, not a relic.
GRIS works with farmers across the community willing to open their operations to visiting groups.
Inspiring Future Agricultural Leaders
Canadian agriculture faces a real labour gap — an estimated 40% of farm operators are expected to retire by 2033. Getting young people onto real farms early ensures the next generation sees farming as a modern, rewarding career.
