What: Field trip to Houweling’s Tomatoes in Camarillo

Houweling’s Goup is is a family owned, world-renowned greenhouse vegetable grower dedicated to delivering a full complement of delicious tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and herbs, while constantly innovating to reduce its environmental footprint.

We will be going on an outside walking tour of the facility.  We will be able to view the greenhouse, but will not be going inside the greenhouse because of crop safety concerns.

The tour will last approximately one hour, depending on questions, and student interest.

Who: Parents and students ages 9 and up only.  Maximum 15 people (including parents).  If you need to stay home with a younger child, you can ask another parent to chaperone your older child that would like to attend the field trip.

How Much: Free

Do: Wear closed toed shoes.  Dress in layers as we will be outside, they also tend to have a strong breeze this time of year.  Bring cameras, they just ask that you not take photos of their employees without their permission.
