Amador County Farm Day


Each year, Amador County Farm Day hosts nearly 400 students to teach and show them the diversity of products that are made from agriculture. Students spend the day learning about farms, ranches, and how food gets to the table. They also learn about the biodiversity of Amador’s regions, from timber forests to croplands. There are several interactive stations that satisfy state curriculum standards, demonstrating to the children how agriculture gets from the farm to their forks.

Up for an Unforgettable Experience: Sutter’s Fort Registration Now Open

Experience what life in early-California felt like at the historically immersive Sutter’s Fort Environmental Living Program.

For 24 hours, students and parents will have the unique opportunity to portray characters of 1840s California while partaking in various trade activities and entertainment. Open to K-8 students and hosted by Sacramento’s Sutter’s Fort, the overnight program will make the era that defines California history come to life!

One parent per family is required to attend with their student and to work at a station assigned by the group coordinator. In order to fully capture the Gold Rush experience, families are invited to come dressed in period clothing.

The cost to participate is $140, payable with student funds. There is also an opportunity for 9-12th grade Home School students to attend as an apprentice who works at a station, the cost of which is $80, also payable with student funds. There is no fee for participating parents.

To learn more and to register, fill out the enrollment form on the Sutter’s Fort Environmental Living Program page (note: do not register on the living history website!).
