School Tours

Since 1992, we have been providing educational experiences for children in preschool through grade 1 with our Fall Farm tours program.

This fall, after Thanksgiving, we will again offer our primary school tour program, for children in JK- grade 1.

We are offering 4 learning centres in a rotational, hands on, 90 minute guided walking tour of our farm:

  1. Play area – featuring Pumpkin Playland, a giant inflated pumpkin with balloons circulating inside; a corn maze and straw jump
  2. Seed centre – investigate and identify different seeds and plant some
  3. Pumpkin picking – visit the pumpkin patch to learn how pumpkins grow – each student can pick their own pie pumpkin
  4. Sensory play with toy tractors and implements – learn how machines are useful to farmers

We can accommodate 2 classes in the same time slot.

Tours will be offered from Wednesday October 11 to Friday October 27 at 9:45-11:15 or 11:30 – 1.

Tours run rain or shine.

Regular tour – $7.50 per student (no charge for parents or teachers)

Deluxe tour – $9 includes an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and apple cider

Note there is a minimum class charge of $125.
