Provide your students with a rich hands-on experience and help them to connect their learning to Ontario’s diverse agricultural sector.
The science curriculum describes food literacy as developing an understanding of where food comes from, including the importance of locally sourced food and how it is grown and prepared, to students investigating the importance of biodiversity in agriculture.
We focus on the development of a healthy farm ecosystem and explore sustainable agricultural practices.
At Cidermill Farms, we have developed school tours catered to the curricular expectations of specific grade levels.
Introducing the principals of regenerative agriculture,we will demonstrate the importance of building & maintaining healthy soil structures in order to produce crops rich in nutrients & sequester carbon,thereby reversing the effects of desertification.
Based on the grade level,we will discuss various topics from plant structures & their function in the uptake of nutrients to an interactive demonstration of photosynthesis and how plants relate to a sustainable future.
Animals play an important role on the farm. Their droppings provide rich fertilizer for plant matter by replenishing the soil after harvest. Farmers must avoid over grazed pastures. If managed properly, raising livestock can be done sustainably and can aid in reversing the effects of climate charge.

Equip our youth with the knowledge of how to safeguard our food supply for generations to come.
