Tours
We enjoy the opportunity of introducing children or adults to the complexities of modern day agriculture and do our best to explain the growing of various crops, starting with Blossom Tours in May and finishing with pumpkin picking on October 31st. |
| In between, tour participants plant pumpkin seeds, pick rhubarb, feed animals, pick crops of strawberries, blueberries, summer and fall raspberries, gourds, Indian corn and apples. We will provide an agricultural and food experience for children and adults alike. Tell us what items on the curriculum you want us to cover on the tour and we will adapt to meet your needs. |
