Farm to Preschool Festival

Join us for vegetable harvesting in the U-Pick garden and take home a kit full of fun activities and recipes. We are reserving by time-slots to reduce the number of people on-site and reduce the risk of exposure to Covid-19. Families will enter through the UC Desert Research Center (1004 Holton Rd in Holtville) and walk to the harvesting garden to pick their own vegetables. There will be no hay wagons rides, please bring a stroller or wagon if needed! Please click the link to view walking route: https://ucanr.edu/sites/drecBETA/files/362204.pdf
After harvesting, participants will exit through the UC Cooperative Extension (1050 Holton Rd in Holtville) and receive a Festival Kit (Activities and recipes to use with your children at home). After the festival, we will host virtual programs to do the activities with you in English and Spanish. More information and dates to come.
Please note: The University of California DREC requires that masks be worn at all times during youth activities. All participants will need to sign a waiver of liability before entering the property and review the Covid Clearance Survey (https://ucanr.edu/sites/drecBETA/files/360128.pdf) We are ensuring that we do our best to have a fun and safe event. Hand sanitizer and handwashing stations will be available throughout the event. Please make sure to maintain social distancing (at least 6ft apart). Please stay home if anyone in your group is not feeling well.
