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. Generally the kids love what we do open for them and then they go home and ask their parents to bring them back to complete the rest of the maze!
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!
Barnyard animals
The small animals of spring are all coming to us from various farms in the Lakes Region. The only ones that spend their winter on our farm are: "Easter" - the pot-bellied pig and all the little chickens and ducks.
