School Tours

Since 1992, we have been providing educational experiences for young children in JK/SK and grade 1 with our Fall Farm Tours Program.

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, September 30th through to Tuesday October 6, and then again from Tuesday October 13 to October 30 at 9:45-11:15 or 11:30 – 1.

“Where Freshness Makes the Difference!”

…has been our family’s business motto since Howard and Elsie began growing sweet corn, and selling it from their garage, in 1964. We still strive to grow and offer the freshest fruits and vegetables, baking and preserves possible. From our family to yours, come and taste the difference that freshness makes!”
