FUN and LEARNING TOGETHER at the FARM
Spring Farm Tours 2018
Spring is an exciting time of year to be on the farm. The plow is turning the soil to prepare the fields for planting and the orchards are full of spring blossoms waiting for the bees to pollinate them. The farm is a wonderful classroom in the spring. We invite you join us for the experience.
Below you will find a chart of Farm tours and dates that they are available. Further down the page is the explanation of each tour.

Farm School Hayride – April 18 to May 18
The spring season continues with our Farm School Hayride. This trip was developed to teach children how plants grow, how to care for them and how to appreciate farming. This farm lesson is conducted in our greenhouse using soil boxes and a variety of seeds the children can plant. Each child takes home his/her own garden to watch grow. We love to see future farmers at work! This trip also includes a Farm tour and explanation of what is going on at the farm in the spring. The wagons will also make a stop at the spinach, radish or lettuce field. Availability of these crops is dependent on the weather and the time of your reservation.

2019 Egg Hunt Hayrides
Our season begins with the ever popular Egg Hunt Hayride. The trip includes a hayride to the egg field where we greet the children and give them very basic instructions on hunting for those special eggs. All of the children hunt for 5 colored eggs. This is not a contest but an enjoyable event. Once they’ve gathered their eggs they sort them by color and are given a goody bag full of treats. Back on the hayride they go to visit with none other than Peter Rabbit! He awaits the children to hear of their exciting adventure and loves having his
picture taken with them.
