Bring your class to the farm

Tryon Life Community Farm provides students of all ages with opportunities to connect with the natural world and each other to create a true sense of place and community. Our goal is to encourage people to develop a lifelong appreciation of the processes that support life, and to offer wisdom on how to steward them sustainably.

The Hands-On Sustainability Program offers one-time and multiple-visit field trip experiences for students of all ages to learn about applied sustainability and creating community in a participatory way.

Activities include an interactive farm tour and seasonally appropriate hands-on lessons on ecological gardening, natural building, restoration and watershed ecology, and ecological living skills. We also offer service-learning projects.
