Field to Fork is an unique outdoor learning experience for primary school children and young people’s groups at the Hirsel, Coldstream.
Come on a FREE visit and have your youngsters explore where their food comes from, discover how it is grown and be inspired to cook and eat healthily while enjoying being in an outdoor environment.
As well as our regular Food and Farming days which include a cooking activity, we offer In the Wild Days where both sessions are outdoors.
A typical visit involves:
We can accommodate a maximum of 40 children per visit and have disabled facilities
Our Food and Farming days can cover any aspect of food and farming you would like – we are happy to tailor visits to meet your curriculum needs and can fit well with your Health Week or Eco Schools campaign. Alongside these we offer In the Wild days. These days might focus on Woodland Habitats, Food Chains, Mini-beasts or Using our Senses Outdoors for example. On these visits both sessions will most likely be outdoors ie there is no cooking activity.
Further examples of themes we can cover are:
Healthy Eating, Being Healthy and Active, Where our food comes from, Food journeys, Food from Scotland, Growing your own, Seasonal Eating, Food and the Environment (Food miles/Food waste/Composting/ Recycling), Sustainable Futures, Fairtrade, Food and Farming in the World War 1 or 2, Farming in the Past, Farming in Victorian Times, Farming and the environment, Plants, Lifecycles, Mapping at the Hirsel, Wild Art, The John Muir Award, Outdoor Games
