The 8th Grade Agriculture class recently wrapped up their unit on Agritourism and Agriculture Literacy. Agritourism is a form of tourism where visitors engage in activities related to agriculture, farming, or rural life. It usually involves farm tours, engaging activities, agricultural education, and more! Agricultural literacy is the knowledge, understanding, awareness, and appreciation of agriculture. Students had the opportunity to meet with Bret Miller, owner of Hidden Trails Corn Maze in West Salem. Bret was able to share some valuable information with students about his family owned operation including the awesome fact that their farm has been in the family for over 120 years! Hidden Trails Corn Maze has been operating since 1998, making them one of the longest operating mazes in the state. Make sure to check them out come September! Thank you Bret for taking the time to meet with us!
