Field trips
Field trips can include all of or just some of the activities list below:
-
Exploring a section of the corn maze and answering grade-appropriate questions
-
petting and feeding the animals
-
Studying and learning about the observation beehive
-
feeding the fish in our watergarden
-
Wandering through the greenhouse hay maze
-
A picnic on our front lawn or lunch at the picnic tables in the Pavilion
-
Pumpkin picking!
-
A take-home coloring contest!
 
Our field trip groups almost all opt for doing the maze. Depending on the age of the group, we'll close off a section of the maze for the kids to "get lost" in. The real maze is far too large for us to open it for field trips....it would simply take way too long. This smaller section of the maze has its own set of questions or trivia for the younger generations and is a great way to teach kids about corn!
The maze is a short wagon ride across the road from the farmstand. Depending on the field trip plan, we usually make a loop of it and go to the pumpkin patch as part of the ride. Our special pumpkins seem to leave a giant smile on every child's face!
The most popular field trip includes:
Arrival and meeting with your farm friend at the Koi pond
Hayride out to the Corn maze or in the meadow in off season for the maze
Selecting a sugar pumpkin - fall only
Feeding and petting the animals: pig, goat, calf, chickens, turkey
greenhouse haymaze adventure - fall only
Cost: $6.00 per child based on a minimum of 12 children
One adult for every 6 children is included at no extra charge. Groups are welcome to bring a lunch or snack and enjoy it either in the front yard on the lawn or at the picnic tables in our new Pavilion. In cases of inclement weather, there is a spot in a greenhouse available for snack/lunch.
Other additions available for an extra fee:

The small animals of spring are all coming to us from various farms in the Lakes Region! We currently have a friendly pig named Snorkers, a cow, a goat, Fluffy our turkey, as well as a variety of chickens! Be sure to stop by to visit and feed our animals!
