The Carrot Top Enrichment program is a farm-based education experience for preschool, prekindergarten, and kindergarten students. This program provides students with an opportunity to have unstructured exploration in the garden and open-ended play in a farm environment while making friends and building community. Youth are encouraged to have an open mind when being invited to try new fruits and vegetables, develop empathy through spending time with the animals, learn about healthy risk taking while climbing trees, and think creatively when making nature inspired art. 

The Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens is committed to teaching our youth about food systems and creating connections between food, agriculture, and community. We give children a hands-on experience centered on the farm with various activities involving our greenhouse operations, composting projects, field work, livestock care and harvesting produce. We focus on integrating Next Generation Science Standards in tangible and approachable ways. From September through May, we work with local schools to bring classes to the farm to experience what it takes to grow what they eat and to form healthy relationships to their food.
