The Traditional Tour is the foundation of all our Fall tours. Tractor drawn hayrides tour around the 155-acre working farm, with educational talks about our crops. Friendly farm animals are popular with students and provide a special learning experience for all. The highlight of our fall tour is a visit to the pumpkin patch, where students pick a sugar pumpkin to take home. Fall tours last about 1 hour. Visitors receive a farm magnet and coloring book.
