Reserve Your Outdoor Classroom Experience with Farm Tours

The living classroom...

K-6 grade students get a unique, hands-on experience in a living classroom at the California State Fair Kaiser Permanente Farm, that shows them first-hand where their food comes from. Students will see actual crops including a functioning greenhouse on the 3.5 acre workign farm. They will participate in five learning stations: Grow it - explore seeds; See it - see what the seeds turn into; Plant it - plant seeds using the newest methods; Milk it - milk a mechanical cow named Cali, and Taste it - taste the foods grown on The Farm.

What grows on The Farm?

The CA State Fair Farm grows over 90 varieties of fruits and vegetables all year long from cotton, kiwi, squash, eggplant, chili peppers, corn and melons to pumpkins. Nearly 4,000 students experience what it takes to plant, maintain and manage a farm during Spring/Fall Farm Tours. The California State Fair Farm is a working farm that produces tons of produce which is donated to the Sacramento Food Bank. In 2017, more than 17,700 pounds of produce was donated.
