Field Trips
Where fun and learning is always in season!
The Many Hats the Farmer Wears
Students will participate in an engaging, interactive skit that takes them through a farmer’s busy day, discovering the many different roles and responsibilities that come with life on the farm. From caring for animals and growing crops to operating equipment and solving problems, students will experience firsthand how farmers wear many hats in just one day. Through hands-on participation and fun storytelling, they’ll gain a greater appreciation for the hard work, teamwork, and dedication that goes into producing the food we enjoy every day.
The Hairy Caterpillar
“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” story comes alive in our Learning Barn! Students will enjoy an interactive storytelling experience as they follow the caterpillar’s journey from a tiny egg to a beautiful butterfly. After the story, each student will create their very own “Hairy Caterpillar” craft to take home. They’ll place their caterpillar on a windowsill and watch it grow, bringing the magic of the story to life long after their visit to the farm!
