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.

We
