“Best Place to See Your Food Grow,” Green Gate Farms’ Farm Camp
Austin Chronicle, Critic’s Choice, 2010
Our farm camps are for children and adults who want to learn and participate in the inner workings of a certified organic diversified farm.
Whether you attend a morning or weeklong camp, activities include: a behind-the-scenes tour of the farm, learning about composting, planting and harvesting; touring the greenhouse, understanding the importance of (and handling) heritage livestock, as well as plenty of time to relax and enjoy the farm.
