Fall Field Trips

Our fall tour is our most popular and from the way the teachers rave, I can understand why! Our outside classroom is any teachers dream come true as it naturally lends itself to experiential learning. Add to that the teaching we have infused into our structured tours and you have happy, learning kids AND teachers who know the school curriculum needs are being met (and exceeded!) Talk about a GREAT day!

Tours are available weekdays in Sept & Oct. at 9:00, 10:30 and 12:30/1:00.
Minimum of 20 children required to reserve but there is a smaller group option (see below).

We have developed our tours to address the varying abilities and learning needs of children at multiple age levels.

Our guided preschool tour is 60-75 minutes and includes an awesome wagon ride, a self-picked pumpkin, animal encounters, and a round barn tour w/scavenger hunt. Please allot at least 90 minutes at the farm as every child that comes to the farm loves to play in our ‘playtime’ barnyard!

Our guided early elementary aged tour, Kindergarten thru second grade, is 75-90 minutes and includes an awesome wagon ride, a self-picked pumpkin, animal encounters, the learning shed (hands-on stations where kids teach themselves about pollination, plants &  animals) and the small corn maze. Please allot at least 2 hours at the farm as every child that comes to the farm loves to play in our ‘playtime’ barnyard! If staying for lunch an additional 30 minutes is recommended.

The tour for students third grade thru college level, is as varied as the number of groups. Through a brief planning session (via email or phone), you and I devise just the tour you desire based on your curriculum and length of visit.

Is your group on the small side? Please note our reserved/guided tours require a minimum of 20 children ($110). Smaller groups are welcome to enjoy the farm any weekday (9/19-10/26) from 9 AM-3 PM without reservation or guide. We have a special packet for unguided tours to use while enjoying the farm. Price is $5.50/person (2 & under Free) and includes a wagon ride, a kid-size pumpkin, animal encounters, small corn maze and the ‘playtime’ barnyard. Check in at the farm bakery upon arrival.
