From the written evaluations of pupils: I have learned about the path of food from the soil to the
table. I have learned that milk comes from farms and that all food
comes from animals and plants. I learned that it demands alot to work on a farm. It is a revolutionary way to get useful information! I didn’t learn anything, just that I should never give up. I learned alot about food, about locally produced food and
organic methods. I have more self-confidence through doing the tasks at the
farm. I learned that I can work with everyone in the class. www.umb.no
