SC Farm days are part of the USDA Agritourism Passport program. Students get a passport that includes all the participating farms in our state. They get a stamp in their passport every time they visit a farm. After a certain number of stamps students get a prize from the USDA Agritourism Program. There is no set time to drop in but I am open between 12-3pm on those days. We will hang out in the Rabbitat with the animals and then come into the classroom for a bit to have a 1/2 hour lesson on whatever is appropriate for the season. I also have a farm store where items are available for purchase. $10/student *Full refund for cancellations within 48 hours. Full refund for inclement weather or Covid related issues.

A little bit of geography will be covered and a new awareness of where these gems can be found will entice your students to go out to look for them. Groups of students will test these rocks according to the Mohs hardness scale. They will also learn to identify state rocks according to metamorphic, igneous, sedimentary rocks or minerals. We will find out what these rocks are used for in industry and how they are used in everyday life. All students will have an opportunity to get a rock from my private collection of unusual and beautiful rocks and fossils.
