What will Students Learn?
Students grades K-6 will enjoy a 1.5-2 hour tour of the California State Fair Farm Presented By Save Mart’s crops and interactive stations. Primarily focused on 3rd and 4th grade curriculum, the tour will highlight California agriculture, seeds, crop growing, innovations in farming, soil and worm composting, and tasting farm fresh produce.
The California State Fair Farm Presented By Save Mart is an essential part of mobilizing interest for young minds to pursue a career in agriculture and to further contribute to our bountiful state and sustain the industry.
