Learning is fun!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.91″ background_layout=”light”]

When students arrive at the farm for a Fall field trip, they will be divided into tour groups by class. Each group will rotate between these farm learning activities:

  • Milking demonstration in the dairy barn
  • Choosing a pumpkin from the field
  • Exploring a cornfield mini-maze
  • Taking a hayride tour of the farm
  • Visiting Belle’s Barn to meet our farm animals
  • Students may take home a baby pumpkin. Other seasonal treats may include such things as ice cream in a cup.

Have a picnic on the farm!
Field trip groups are welcome to bring a sack lunch to enjoy at picnic tables under our covered pavilions. Handwashing stations and restroom facilities are available.
