Spring Farm Field Trips
Schedule: Mid May – June 30 | Monday – Friday | Reservations Needed
Spring tours are designed for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school students. Our tours encourage learning about agriculture and the food we eat through presentations by our farmers at a real working farm.

Our Traditional Farm Tour
The Traditional Farm Tour is the foundation of all our Spring tours. The tractor drawn hayride tours around our 90-acre working farm, stopping along the way for a series of educational talks about how our crops are grown. Our friendly farm animals are popular with students, and a tour of our 15,000 square foot greenhouses offer a special learning experience for all. Tours last about 1-1/2 hours. Each visitor will receive a plant to pot and take home, a refrigerator magnet, and a farm coloring book. Choose your tour and add an educational package below to extend the length of your trip!
