From Field to Table Program

The program uses hands-on activities to demonstrate basic methods of food preservation such as drying, pickling, candying, and cellaring. Within the context of food preservation, students learn about aspects of basic physical science, such as compounds, mixtures, acids, and bases. The concept of self-sufficiency is explained as students compare and contrast the technology of the early 1800s with that of today. Students gain awareness of their reliance on modern agricultural industry and practices to provide for nutritional needs, and learn of its economic importance in the region.
