Our Programs · Learn on real farms
Future Farmers
Kids, students and families spend a day on a working farm and learn how food is grown, picked and sold.
About the program
Most kids meet a blueberry in a plastic clamshell at the grocery store. Future Farmers takes them to the bush, the blossom and the person who grows it.
Schools, youth groups and families visit working Canadian farms in season. The grower leads the day. Kids plant, pick, sort and ask anything, and they leave knowing that farming is also a business and a career they can choose.
In the field
With KidsBuildBiz, a non profit that teaches young people how business works, we brought students onto a blueberry farm in British Columbia to learn the crop from the grower himself, from blossom to box.
