Visit the Farm

Field Trips

We welcome school groups, home-school groups and community organizations to visit us for an authentic farm experience. Full day or half day programs are offered. Activities are designed to support curricular goals and geared toward the age group. Farm-based activities will follow the flow of the seasons and will teach about the natural world, and the plant and animal kingdoms, and fibers.

No matter the season, there is always a good reason to integrate STEM learning on the farm. For older students, science, particularly botany, comes to life while working with our farmers in the food production area. Students can see how simple machines used on the farm help our farmers, and the ways mathematics is used in almost every aspect of farming.

We are accepting Reservations for Spring and 2025 Field Trips

Full day field trips for large groups are being scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays. Half day field trips and smaller group size will be scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays. Submit the online form to request more information or to reserve your field trip date.

Lettuce Learn Outside

Spring farming activities may include touring our greenhouses, starting seeds, and planting crops in our production areas. Groups also visit the farm animals and learn about fibers produced on farms.

Summer

Due to farm camps our summer schedule is limited for private tours. We can accommodate groups as our schedule permits.

In the autumn, learning about root vegetables, harvesting pumpkins, and planting garlic are main themes for fall curriculum. Visiting the animals round out fall visits to the farm.

Weather permitting, we can accommodate groups on the farm in the winter. The animals are happy to have visitors any time of year!
