Harrison County students visit Green Acres Creamery for second annual Farm Day

Kindergarten and first grade classes from 28th Street Elementary in Gulfport learn how farms deliver food to the table

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) — Kindergarten and first grade classes from 28th Street Elementary School in Gulfport visited Green Acres Creamery on Monday for the Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District’s second annual Farm Day.

The district holds the event each year. One school in Harrison County is chosen for a free field trip to the farm.

The students learned how farms deliver food and other goods from the farm to the table. They learned to make butter and milk a cow.

Mary Terwilliger of the Harrison County Soil & Water Conservation District said the students see their food being made in front of them.

“They do get to see their food being made right in front of them, just the excitement that they have and just to be out here to experience nature,” Terwilliger said. “Some of them don’t really get to in places that they live at. They just don’t get to experience the joys of nature every day, so it’s just nice to have them out here.”
