For Educators
A Day in the Life on the Farm
Your day will begin with our volunteers greeting you with a hayrack ride to our 20x20 Yurt classroom. From here your day will begin. You will be divided into smaller groups to visit each station on the farm.
You will then gather back with your larger group for their sack lunch in our designated space. There are play areas that you can access during your free time. You will also have access to our classroom and covered gazebo for your discretion. At the end of your trip you will be taken back to your bus on a hayrack ride to depart for your school.
