Field Trips and Guided Tours

Field Trips and Guided Tours at the UBC Farm

Learn about growing food and food sustainability at the UBC Farm. Our guided tours and field trips immerse visitors in the landscape of a working farm and research, community and teaching hub!

 

The UBC Farm provides a unique site for learning. Our tours and field trips engage visitors in place-based learning about biodiversity, climate change, sustainable agriculture, food systems, Indigenous territory and food sovereignty, and innovative research.

 

We encourage you to request tours at least two weeks in advance to ensure availability.

Children and Youth (K-12)

If your group consists of children and youth up to the age of 18 or grade 12, we would be excited to host your visit through our FarmWonders Field Trip program.

The UBC Farm offers field trip programming for a wide range of young audiences. FarmWonders Field Trips provide an opportunity for youth to see and learn about a working certified organic farm and to discuss important social and ecological aspects of food production in our area. Join us to learn about bees, explore the forest, examine soil or compost, and more!
