School Field Trips and Farm Demonstrations

Our hands-on farm field trip programs offer a unique opportunity for students to immerse and participate in the work, the beauty and the seasonal rhythms of farm life. Our farm programs are designed for 3rd graders through high school students, and the educational programs cover a variety of topics to meet the needs of each classes curriculum.

Our half day farm programs begin with the Farmers sharing an introduction to the farm and the role of the animals, the plants, and the soil, and the importance of the Farmer’s role as steward of the farm.
