School Field Trips 2009

We are currently booking field trips for the 2009 season. Our price of $6 per student/parent has not changed since last year. Also, similiar to last year we do have a minimum of 20 paying guests (or $120). We do still have dates that are open but ask that reservations are made as soon as possible. By calling early, we will be able to offer greater flexibility for you in our scheduling. Our scheduled school groups run Monday through Friday, mid-September through November. The following activities are included:

--a snack of popcorn and drink

--a challenging four acre maze

--a 30 to 40 minute wagon ride through the farm for viewing growing crops, ponds, wildlife, etc.

--an opportunity to visit and learn about our barnyard animals

--a brief interactive lesson in the top of our barn about the history and importance of agriculture. We will tailor the content according to the age of the children and the teacher's preferences.

--a 2 to 3 lb. pumpkin grown on Cotton Hills Farm (one per student)

--an opportunity to picnic on the tables by our log cabin


We divide students into groups of 20 to 25 children and then rotate groups through the various activities.

The entire tour takes approximately 2 hours.


The cost is $6.00 for each student, parent, or sibling who attends.

There is no cost for teachers and other paid staff.

A minimum of 20 children or $120 is required.
