We know how hard you work and want to make your trip to the farm meaningful and enjoyable. With a trip to the farm, you will see that much of what we talk about and experience crosses the curriculum. To help you with your lesson plans we are including the parts of the Kentucky Combined Curriculum Document that we will likely introduce during your trip to our farm. TENNESSEE TEACHERS: We know this information listed is from the Kentucky teaching guidelines, but we hope that the descriptions listed will help you to identify parts of the Tennessee Standards that would apply for your students and a trip to our farm.
