Behind the Scenes at UCSD
During this tour, guests will see how UCSD uses natural processes to clean up sewage from homes and businesses in the twin cities. The main result 15 million gallons per day of water that is clean enough to go into a creek. They also create a fertilizer-rich soil amendment for farmers' fields and generate about half a megawatt of electricity and two-thirds of the heat needed for their operations.

Behind the scenes farm tour with an expanded educational topic - Breed Genetics, AND cheese tasting.
Farm tour touches on the farm system from grass to goats to cheese.
Light cheese tasting included.
Breed Genetics
We will dive into identifying our two goat breeds (La Mancha and Nubian), identifying each breed and their hybrid by visible traits (ears), curating a conversation about which traits are important to breed for in dairy goats, with students/guests having the opportunity to discuss and decide their own goals, and hearing from our Heard Manager, Rose, on the breeding goals that our farm pursues and how Rose tracks those.
