Field Trips

“Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world– Nelson Mandela”

Our school tours are filled with lots of fun and education for students of all ages. Our goal is for visitors to learn more about agriculture, history, geography, math  and other subjects, while solving problems and making memories.  Students of all ages enjoy a trip to our educational and scenic farm.

Teachers, you are invited to a free preview on Sept. 11
