We have had over 500 students and adults come out to visit the Farmer and the Cook's Gozo Farm in 2008. Thanks go out to Grace Bueti, David White and Marty Fujita for making it HAPPEN! We have worked with people ages 5-65 and have had a variety of programs, from classroom tours to workshops and work parties. TV turnoff week also saw schools visiting Gozo farm. We have covered topics from definitions of organic and sustainable agriculture, to planting and harvesting techniques, GMOs, farmworker justice, perceptions and perversions of "local", the history of pesticides and fertilizers, and gender inequality in agriculture. We have worked with students from CSU Channel Islands, Thacher School, all the public elementary schools in the Ojai Valley, UCSB, Oak Grove School, Valley Oak Charter, and a troop of Boy Scouts. Call us to arrange a visit. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
