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 now accepting Reservations for Spring 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 your field trip date.
Lettuce Learn Outside
Spring farming activities include starting seeds, and planting crops in our production areas. Groups also visit the animals that live on the farm.
Due to farm camps our summer schedule is limited for field trips. Please inquiry about availability.
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 in the winter. Hardy winter crops and four season growing methods will be the focus of our curriculum. The animals are happy to have visitors any time of year!
