Bus tours & school field trips
Open July through October
Bus tours and school field trips. Bring the whole bus.
School groups, church groups, senior bus tours, day camps. Fall is our busy season for this. We host buses through September and October when the apples and pumpkins are in. Call ahead to book a date.
What a group day looks like
Apples, pumpkins, hayrides, and a corn pit.
Apple-picking by the bag
Kids walk the rows, pick a small bag, take it home. Easy first farm experience for the under-10 crowd.
Pumpkin patch
Pick a pumpkin from the patch. Smaller pumpkins included in most group programs; larger ones available at stand price.
Wagon rides
Rolling tour of the orchard. Easy for younger kids, popular with seniors. Group capacity per ride: ~20.
Corn pit
The main attraction for the under-12 set. Plan extra time. Bring a change of clothes. They’ll be in there.
Group types we host
Who shows up in October.
School field trips
Pre-K through 5th grade is our sweet spot. Apple-and-pumpkin themed program. Most groups stay 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Senior bus tours
Calhoun County is a popular fall day-trip from St. Louis-area senior centers. Wagon rides and a sit-down at the bakery work well for this group.
Church groups & day camps
Mid-size groups (15–60). Plan around a meal in town or pack lunches and use our outdoor seating.
