Faces of Farming Family Fun Day

The day will begin at Oregon’s first urban farm, Fields Farms with hosts Jim and Debbie Fields. Jim, known to many as the godfather of farming in Central Oregon, will lead you on a tour of his wonderful property.

Tours will begin at 11:00am, 12:00pm and 1:00pm. Please arrive on time.

Children and their parents/caregivers will be invited to plant their own sprout in the “Farming for the Future” garden, a tribute to the critical role that local food cultivation plays in our evolution and sustainability as a society. Plus, it’s fun to get your hands dirty!

El Sancho will be onsite to serve up a yummy lunch. The menu will include signature tacos featuring local meats and veggies plus quesadillas for the small ones. (Lunch available for purchase)

Next, families will travel 5 miles east to Juniper Jungle Permaculture Farm where they will learn about bees, honey, pollination and the critical role bees play in the maintenance of a local food ecosystem.
