Kid Cultivation Station

Sponsored by Argyle Acres and The Pizza Yard

Goal: To give the next generation of farmers a hands-on experience learning about local food and the different elements that are important to get food to our plate: soil, pollinators, animals, and of course the farmers! Our little farmers will play with an unusual artists medium- soil! We’ll learn about the different soils in Utah and the importance of healthy soil for a healthy agriculture system. We will create books about different livestock found on the farm to provide an opportunity to talk about animal needs, uses, offspring, and seasonal changes. We will explore our love for our pollinators and the crucial roll they play in the ecosystem while making beeswax modeling clay. Upon departure we hope your child will have gained an appreciation for the beauty and gifts life has to offer.

This program was thoughtfully designed by Chris & Amanda of Argyle Acres
