Egg Farm

Join us on Thursday, October 8 at 10:00 a.m. for a free Virtual Field Trip, where K-8 students will tour Elmwood Farms, an egg farm in Jordan, Ontario, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to produce the eggs that make their way to our table.

During this egg-citing field trip, your class will:

• Meet Josiah Mullet Koop, a 6th-generation egg farmer on his family farm.
• See hens, explore the barns, and see how eggs are collected.
• Discover how farmers use technology, record-keeping, and daily observations to care for their birds.
• Participate in live discussions and ask questions in real time.

Additionally, all registrants will receive a digital activity kit containing engaging educational materials to enhance the Virtual Field Trip experience.

This Virtual Field Trip will give students the opportunity to look beyond the grocery store to understand where their food comes from, how it is produced, and the people and technology that make it possible. It’s a hands-on way to connect classroom curriculum to a real Ontario farm and to explore the important role agriculture plays in our everyday lives.
