GUIDELINES FOR FARMERS:
The Farm must....
- Be involved in feeding the students — or provide volunteers with a bag or box of produce from their farm. The choice between cooking a meal or providing produce is up to the farmer; however, the decision needs to be set in stone before the visit is set up so that volunteers know what they are in for. If the choice is to cook a meal it should be an option for a few volunteers to take part in helping cook the meal.
- Provide at least 45 minutes of educational discussion with the farmer about his/her production methods.
- Have a farmer present and involved during the farm mob.
- Have toilet and basic hand washing available.
- Have basic liability insurance that covers the mob while at the farm (most farms already have this).
- Provide a description of the tasks to be performed by volunteers.
