Family Fun Farm Tours at ECHO

Family Fun Farm Tours at ECHO

Exciting and educational ECHO Family Fun Farm Tours are back for another year. The walking tours will take place at the Regional Impact Center in North Fort Myers on Saturday, June 22, and Saturday, July 20.

Tours will be led by certified docents who specialize in sharing ECHO’s mission with children ages eight and up. Families will participate in activities to learn how natural resources are shared and what amount of the earth’s surface is usable for food production.

While on the tour, docents will take a hands-on approach, allowing families to feed goats, eat plants, climb a mountain, interact with chickens, pick leaves, search for lizards and more.

Special discussion questions will help guests visualize world poverty and food security in ways children will understand.

ECHO is a leading nonprofit global agriculture development organization known for its commitment to equipping and empowering hungry families with knowledge and the life-giving grace of God. The Regional Impact Center is at 17391 Durrance Road in North Fort Myers.
