The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Clagett Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD is DC Farm to School Approved! DC Greens encourages District teachers to engage their students in farm-based learning. To aid in their search for programs that provide a rich educational experience we have developed an assessment tool - the DC Farm to School Stamp of Approval - awarded to field trip sites that: - actively engage students in hands-on learning (planting, harvesting, tasting, smelling); - exposes students to a wide variety of plant and animal species; - serves as an extension of the classroom, rooted in educational standards; - and draws the connection between plants on the farm and the food on our plates. This "movie trailer" provides a look at what a trip to Clagett Farm is like. To learn more, visit http://dcgreens.org/farm-field-trips/
