They will be taken on a guided walking tour around the farm where they will be able to get out in the fields and learn about the various activities in the farm. They will see how fruits & vegetables grow. They also get a chance to familiarize themsevlves with a wide variety of fruit plants in the farm and utilize the opportunity to pluck and enjoy the fruits, according to what's in season. This tour lasts 1.5-2 hours for educational school trips. Get to learn about different farming/organic farming techniques like beekeeping, vermicomposting, rainwater harvesting, greywater filtering, multicropping, nitrogen fixing, crop-rotation, intercropping, drip irrigation, etc. Also get an opportunity to pet and feed the farm animals like cows & calves, sheep and goats, chicken, climb a tree or two and/or dirty your hands by participating in some farming activities. We focus on the topics based on the children grades and what they learn in their syllabus.
Lunch will be served which is traditional rural vegetarian Karnataka cuisine. Farm fresh food is part of the part experience and cannot be skipped. This gives the children a complete experience.
Post lunch, we conduct indoor/outdoor games like Pagade, Chouka Bara, Lagori, Al-guli-mane and many other traditional rural outdoor games.
We can also organize a pottery session at a nominal cost, after which the children can take back their creations as a momento.
