LifestyleSpring Valley EcoFarms is excited to announce that it’s hosting tours for school age children in grades K-12.
In the effort to reach out to a wide range of people and support the local community through outreach and education, Spring  Valley EcoFarms is widening it’s scope and reaching out to the youth community of the Southeast to support diversification through sparking the imagination of children.
In addition to witnessing the innate beauty of the Spring Valley EcoFarms site, children attending the scheduled tours will focus on defining the basics of sustainability, ecology, environmental awareness, biodiversity and organic agriculture. Tours at the site also allow for understanding concrete scientific experiments and applications, and interactive sightseeing with animals, forest trails, ponds, creeks, insects and much more!
SVE is also pleased to share with it’s younger constituents a web portal made available through the Convention on Biodiversity. The web portal introduces, at an age-appropriate level, the concept of biological diversity and highlights the importance of sustainable agriculture not only to preserve biodiversity, but also to ensure that we will be able to feed the world, maintain agricultural livelihoods, and enhance human well being into the 21st century and beyond. At the same time, it encourages students to explore the importance of maintaining the world's biological diversity, upon which future agricultural production and cultural diversity are so dependant.

Information on school tours can be obtained by emailing us with your special request. The tours are fun, free and customized for your group.
Spread the Word...
If you have not read or heard about becoming “greener” you may not be sharing the planet earth with the rest of us. As words like sustainability and conservation pop up regularly these days in conversation, many of us wonder what difference we can make on our own human scale.
There is a lot that can be done, and you do not have to be an activist, wear hemp clothes or tie yourself to a tree to have an impact. Being environmentally aware means just that…one is conscious of their environment, and this does not solely refer to nature.
At Spring Valley EcoFarms we are interested in evaluating what lifestyle elements/ behaviors can help make a real impact on quality of life… long-term.
We are currently developing projects relating to how environmentally sound behaviors can be marketed through the arts, media, academia and beyond. The goal is to reach a maximum number of people in an attempt to impact consumer habits and raise awareness.
