Shift•ology Communication's Virtual Farm Trips (VFTs) have revolutionized agricultural education by connecting over 1.5 million students and consumers to farms through free, live virtual tours. Since launching in 2015 with a single pig farm in Ohio, the program has expanded nationwide, offering interactive experiences that bring real-time access to farmers and agricultural experts.
In the 2023–2024 school year alone, 250,000 students participated. VFTs cover a wide range of topics—from traditional livestock and crops to unique areas like yaks, bees and renewable-energy farms.
Designed to feel like interactive TV rather than standard video calls, these sessions enable live Q&A, enhancing transparency and engagement. Shift•ology handles all logistics and production, allowing partner organizations to focus on storytelling. Its success is driven by technical expertise, strong partnerships and a commitment to immersive, educational content.
Upcoming VFTs include topics such as:
- Cattle ranching in California
- A chocolate factory tour
- Veterinary care on a dairy farm
- Virtual Dairy Tour with the Indy 500 Milk Presenter
