Sager Family Farm encourages children to develop a love for learning and curiosity about the natural world. Our elementary school lessons bring learning to life and spark interest in STEAM fields through exciting encounters with live animals.
Our farm is designed to provide "reverse field-trips" where we bring the critters into the classroom. It is actually much easier to get 5,000 bees in a box than 24 children onto a bus, especially when you take into account the cost, chaperones, transportation, loss of instructional time, and permission slips required for a traditional field trip. This model allows us to provide more equitable access to formative, hands-on experiences.
Since the founding of Sager Family Farm in 2015 through the end of June 2024, our flagship Big Buzz About Bees program has visited a total of 1029 classrooms and has presented to 23,063 students throughout the state of California.
Thanks to the generous support of our partners, we're able to provide our program throughout California in San Diego County and the San Francisco Bay Area.
