We offer Spring and Fall school tours for Preschoolers through 6th graders. After the long winter, a day on the Farm makes an ideal class field trip. Spring is the time of birth and the Farm is teeming with baby animals. Fall tours are popular with school groups and one of the highlights is a hayride to the storybook trail and a visit to the pumpkin patch. To help teachers prepare for the field trips, we've compiled a list of some of our favorite farm books.

Spring School Tours

Tours and Shows: Kindergarteners through 6th graders have the opportunity to attend the farm show. The farmers will demonstrate how the animals are used for food and fiber including milking the cows, making butter, sheering sheep, and spinning the wool into yarn.

Preschoolers have the opportunity to walk from barn to barn with a farmer to visit the animals up-close for a more hands-on experience. The children will have an opportunity to milk a cow .

Hayride: Everyone can take a 30 minute tractor drawn hayride through the pasture and blossoming trees.

Storybook Trail: Take a hayride out to the woods and walk our storybook trail where the pages of a book come to life as your class walks through the woods.
