Center hosts high school students for tour

We had the pleasure of hosting Center student alum Beth Noel's Introduction to Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources class (Frontier High, Bakersfield, CA) for a Strawberry Center tour! The students were led by Field Technician Lawson Orradre and Research Associate Sam Simard. Students learned about the farming and research operations at the Strawberry Center, and even got to pick their own clamshell of strawberries. This tour concluded their Plant and Food Unit, giving students a firsthand understanding of plant growth, and the journey of food from farm to store.
