Experience your very own Farm Camp tour with RD Offutt Farms! Go on a behind the scenes look at a potato’s journey from field to french fry during our Virtual Farm Camp Experience with director, Ann Vote.
Farm Camps connect your classroom curriculum to a real world agriculture tour, providing deeper understanding of your classroom concepts, hands-on experiences, and a look into agriculture careers. Join this Teacher Tour to participate in a Farm Camp experience to learn about Minnesota grown potatoes and how you can create an engaging experience like this for your students next year!
During this virtual tour, you will hear from a grower and agronomist that help in the fields, get a look inside a potato storage facility, watch as a chemist in the french fry lab analyzes potatoes for consumption and view the process potatoes go through at Lamb Weston RDO to become delicious french fries ready to eat!
Following the virtual tour, you’ll learn how partnering with Farm Camp will support you in creating a customized experience for your students next school year! This teacher tour is specifically designed for educators in grades 5-12.
