Food and Nutrition L2 Trip to Wilson Vegetables 2025

The learning focus in the Level Two Food and Nutrition class is to determine the value of sustainable food practices. As part of our learning and to enhance the classes understanding of sustainability, we will be visiting Wilsons Vegetables. This trip will involve the whole class having a tour, having hands on experiences picking vegetables and how the farm is using sustainable practices.
