Stockton resident recalls third-grade farm field trips, praises CCAC edible-education activities
Summary
A meeting speaker from Stockton described childhood third-grade field trips to learn about agriculture and said they later taught edible-education activities through CCAC, including pickling apples.
A commenter identified only as “Commenter” said they grew up in Stockton and remembered a districtwide third-grade field trip that introduced students to agriculture, and later worked teaching edible-education activities through CCAC.
The commenter said, “I'm from Stockton, 1 of the agricultural centers of California. Growing up, we had this field trip that every third grader in the entire district would have, and that was my first experience with agriculture.” They added an example of the classroom activity, asking, “Did you know you could pickle, like, apples? And that was, like, such a crazy thing for a third grader to be, like, you can pickle apples?”
The remarks framed the speaker’s participation in edible-education through CCAC as a way to give back to the community and to teach children about food and agriculture. The commenter described the experience as “super fun” and said it helped introduce students to concepts of edible education.
No formal action or vote related to the remarks was recorded in the provided transcript. The record contains only the speaker’s recollections and description of their teaching activities with CCAC.
