A finca is a small and highly diversified farm in Latin America. The FINCA at Lincoln campus has been established with native edibles including fruits, perennial greens, flowers and tubers and many wildflowers and other plants important for pollinators. The tour will consist of 8-10 stops and small native food samples will be served. This free tour is on level ground and easy walking.
