Groups and Field Trips
- Mid September Through October 31st-
Groups Packages or
Field Trips
Thank you so much for showing an interest in our farm.
On our farm we hope to educate and inspire not only the students and children, but also the adults who visit.
We consider our farm not only Agri-tourism but even more importantly Ag-education. Each year we plan out a curriculum for our maze, so that the visitors not only have a great time finding their way through our maze (or getting lost in it!!) but they also learn some facts about the different crops or farm animals we have on our farm.
Field Trip Packages
Field Trips are only available on these days and times throughout the Fall season:
- Tuesday: 9:30-10:45 11:00-12:15 12:30-1:45
- Wednesday: 9:30-10:45 11:00-12:15
- Thursdays: 9:30-10:45 11:00-12:15
Field Trips Include:
- Admission to the corn maze - The full maze has a different educational curriculum each year. The full maze is suggested for grades 5-12. We suggest the shortened version of the maze for Pre-K through 2nd grade. The short maze has a corn-based curriculum each year. Grades 3 & 4 can do either maze dependent upon the field trip time length – Full maze takes 1+ hour; the short maze 20 minutes.
- Hayride - This is a farm tour where aspects of farming are discussed with the students; grade-appropriate curriculum.
- Animal visit - Staff led introduction to different types of farm animals. Children will be allowed to pet and feed certain farm animals with assistance.
- Small pumpkin for Students* - Students will choose a pumpkin from rows in the pumpkin yard. Our staff will wipe off pumpkins and teachers/parents can put student’s names on the pumpkins.
*Pumpkins are for students only, staff or chaperones must purchase pumpkins separately.
- Picnic tables reserved for your use - You may bring in snacks/lunch. Please let us know when making reservations if your class will be eating here as it will need to be added to your class's farm rotation.
