Farm visits
You’ve read about them, seen them and even eaten them! How about actually going to see where potatoes grow?
A visit to the farm is a great way to learn about growing, managing and harvesting potatoes. A farm visit provides an ideal opportunity to bring the curriculum to life through hands-on activities. To get the best out of your visit, check out the Grow Your Own Potatoes : Farm Visit Guide. Check out our farm database to find a farm in you area.
Further important information concerning health and safety for your visit to the farm can be found at:
