School Field Trips:

Meacham offers field trips to all schools interested in learning about agriculture. We are uniquely accessible to urban schools, as we’re a fully functioning farm located in downtown Tampa!

Field trips involve an in-depth farm tour for 1-1.5 hours. An experienced farmer will take the class through all production aspects of the farm, how a seed becomes a crop, and even how it is packaged, sold and turned into a meal. Tours can be customized for specific topics, including plant biology, environmentalism, nutrition and more. All tours include discussions about plant life, farm tools and technology, soil life, seeding and planting, harvesting, chickens and bees (both on-farm), and vegetable processing.

At the moment, field trips are only available for public schools (HCPS). Unfortunately, we are unable to host private school groups and homeschool groups this season.

Field trips are available for booking on Wednesdays (after October 13th) and are subject to availability. Groups of 40 students or less permitted at a time.
