Visit a real 4th Generation working farm that provides a variety of educational farm experiences that are hands on for families,
and SCHOOLS! Providing farm education for over 23 years.... Meet Mr. Benton who came here in 1941 at ten yrs old.
On the field trips, the children get the opportunity to pet/ feed/touch different types of animals and to go on a hayride.In the Spring we look at the ground being planted and learn to plant seeds. In the fall, the children and chaperones pick their own pumpkins to take home. Children may feed grain to the sheep, goats and the llama. They also have a chance to pet the sheep and goats. The children also visit with our rabbits. While on the hayride to the pumpkin patch the children will see the horses and Diary cattle grazing in the fields and ducks/ wild geese on the ponds. From a safe distance they can see beehives where our honeybees live and work to help us make pumpkins and vergetables and of course honey. These bees pollinate the crops and provide us with more crops! The beekeeper will give a honeybee talk and show your group all of the equipment and how to start a hive and how to care for the hive. Children also visit with our calves and baby bunnies, lambs, and milk the cow if she is fresh. During the spring /fall tours the children will have hands on experience shearing the sheep and then card the wool. Handwashing facilities are provided near all the barns. The field trips are all guided and last 1 hr and 45 min to 2 hours.
