School field trips

School field trips at the orchard, all fall.

Fall is field-trip season, and a working orchard is one of the better places to spend a school morning: pumpkins, apples, a corn pit, wagon rides, and the real story of where food comes from.

The visit

Pumpkins, apples, and a corn pit.

A typical trip is a wagon ride through the orchard, time in the pumpkin patch, apple-picking by the bag, and the corn pit. Kids leave with a pumpkin and a pretty good idea of how an orchard works.

Who comes

Schools, day camps, and church groups.

We host school classes, day camps, scout troops, and church groups all through October, plus senior bus tours. See the full rundown on our groups page.
