Educational Tours

Beejom has a special learning programme for groups of school kids of various age groups and adults who want to visit the farm as part of experiential learning. There is nothing more joyful than working with children for a better future for this planet.

We are basically a working agricultural farm, learning centre and animal sanctuary. We are delighted to have Children and grown ups over as the visits have proven to be a great learning experience for them. Farm life offers children and adults alike a natural opportunity to learn and see many text book concepts first hand.

At the farm visit we do the following activities with people depending on the time available; across all age groups and at multiple levels of learning. A group of upto 30 children/ adults at a time is best for effective interaction.
