Soil to Soul: a field trip that grows more than science knowledge.
A hands-on farm experience for schools, scouts & community groups on 115 certified-organic acres in Akron, Ohio. Real farm work grows confidence, empathy, and connection — not just a lesson plan.
Built for every kind of group.
From kindergarten classes to college ecology courses, Soil to Soul flexes to fit your group.

What your students will practice.
Soil to Soul is built around real farm work, not a script — which means students naturally practice the skills researchers call social-emotional learning. We ground our approach in CASEL's five core competencies.
Self-Awareness
Recognizing and naming what they feel while working — frustration pulling weeds, pride after a hard chore.
Self-Management
Practicing patience and focus during animal care routines and repetitive farm tasks.
Social Awareness
Understanding the farm as an interdependent system — noticing the needs of animals and peers.
Relationship Skills
Cooperating with peers on shared garden or animal-care tasks.
Responsible Decision-Making
Making real choices with real consequences — how gently to handle an animal, how carefully to harvest a plant.
Pricing & group logistics.
Every visit is custom-built around your group's size, schedule, and goals.
Pricing
Pricing reflects visit length and number of sessions, up to approximately $12 per student. Tell us about your group and we'll build a quote around it.
Group size & chaperones
No fixed group size cap and no required chaperone ratio. Tell us about your group and we'll help you plan the right number of adults for a safe, well-supported visit.
