Education is at the heart of our “Returning to Our Roots” mission. We believe that by opening our gates to students, organizations, and the community, we can foster a deeper understanding of where our food comes from and the importance of regenerative agriculture.
We invite students and educational organizations to experience agriculture firsthand. Our Harvest Field Trip Tours provide a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the lifecycle of a crop, specifically focusing on our walnut orchards. It’s a powerful way to educate our youth and the community on the journey from soil to shelf.
“As part of our commitment to the community, we are proud to offer these educational tours for student groups at no cost.”
