Alemany Farm Tour & Workday

To prepare for our Alemany Farm field trip, please read this short article on Sustainable Agricultural Practices from the Union of Concerned Scientists just to get an idea of some examples of what sustainable farming is all about. Additionally, check out the Alemany Farm website to get some background (and even start answering some of your worksheet questions!) on where we are going! Last, watch this short video below on what happens on the farm (and to also get excited about our visit!!):

For credit for this week's lab, you will need to complete the Alemany Farm Tour and Workday Worksheet. Upload your completed assignment on Canvas by Friday at 11:59pm -- this way, you can still use your answers from the worksheet (and what you learned from our field trip) to incorporate into your neighborhood project! Keep in mind that your experiences from what you learn during our field trip should be used as examples in your neighborhood project! For example, if you have a community garden, suggest sustainable farming techniques that you think would benefit; alternatively, if you do not have any community gardens in your neighborhood, what farming practices would you want to incorporate and why?

Remember that you will need to wear sturdy, close-toed shoes AND long pants as we will be working on the farm! We will be learning about sustainable farming practices and, similar to previous field trips to the Presidio, will be getting our hands dirty so please dress appropriately!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Eliza Woo via the Canvas Inbox!
