FIELD TRIPS
FROM JULY TO OCTOBER
We believe in connecting all ages with agriculture through a true AG-VENTURE experience. One of our favorite ways to accomplish this is by hosting school and youth field trips that blend education and fun on a beautiful Midwest specialty crop farm.
Our field trips are fully guided by our knowledgeable crew and will focus on how our specialty crops are grown & harvested. Let's not forget about the FUN part! As part of our field trip experience, groups can build in time for our farm park and goat encounter.
Field trips will be offered Wednesdays through Fridays starting at 9am and ending at 2pm.
Here’s what to expect for our 1 to 1.5 hour field trips:
• Designed & customized for grades PreK – 5th.
• Mariah will welcome you and your students to the farm.
• Farmer Greg will walk the students around our farm, stopping at 3-4 areas to talk about the life cycle of the different crops we grow and answer your students many questions.
• Per request and pending the season/time of field trips, we can build in time for the students to pick strawberries or a pumpkin.
• Playtime in our Farmtastic Fun Park & visit/feed the goats.
• Some groups will bring their own sack lunches for having lunch in our Barn Pavilion following the field trip.
