The Green Tour will help first-year students learn about being a part of a connected community and understand the impact their food choices have on the local, regional, and global levels.
Connect with new friends and the community by exploring local food options.
The Green Tour is an opportunity for first-year students to explore several resources to learn about the Ithaca area food scene. Participants will visit a farmer’s market or a u-pick farm to check out locally grown produce, learn about eating local at an Ithaca restaurant, and learn how to prepare a sustainable meal together.
“The Green Tour was a great experience where I got to learn about local agriculture and explore Ithaca. It showed me how I could better help the environment, and it helped me adjust to college life before other students arrived. I even met my best friend there!”
Students who participate in the GREEN Tour have a chance to learn about local food sources and taste local foods on this tour around beautiful Cayuga Lake.
