Interested in an Ag Classroom Project
at the Farm to Fork Pizza Farm?
This program helps teach school children where the food they eat comes from. One of our goals at the Farm to Fork Pizza Farm is to help promote community-based food systems and teach important nutritional components by eating non-processed whole farm-raised foods. We have ample parking for school busses, but your driver should be skilled manuerving the bus on southern Indiana country roads.
