HANDS-ON LEARNING:
Educational Farm Field Trips for K-12

Go beyond the classroom and bring your curriculum to life with an educational field trip to our farm. Designed specifically for K–12 students, our hands-on visits offer a unique learning environment that supports key subjects like science, social studies, and character education. It's a fun and memorable way to connect students with nature, sustainable living, and the importance of compassion.

A Living Classroom: What Students Will Learn

Our field trips are more than just a day out—they are a truly interactive learning experience. Students won’t just observe; they will participate, ask questions, and discover.

During their visit, your students will get to:

  • Meet Our Animals: Get up close and personal with our friendly farm animals. Students will have the opportunity to feed animals and brush goats, fostering a sense of connection and responsibility.

  • Explore Sustainable Farming: Learn about where their food comes from and the importance of caring for the environment. Our guides will explain simple, sustainable farming practices that show how we work in harmony with nature.

  • Hear Inspiring Rescue Stories: We believe in the power of empathy. Through heartfelt animal rescue stories, we teach valuable lessons about compassion, responsibility, and teamwork. These stories provide a powerful and lasting lesson in character education.

Designed for Teachers & Chaperones

We understand that a successful field trip requires careful planning. You can expect a well-organized and seamless visit from the moment you arrive. Our field trip programs are thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate activities to ensure every student, from kindergarten to high school, is engaged and learning.

  • Age-Appropriate Activities: Our guides tailor the experience to fit the specific needs and learning level of your group.

  • Curriculum Alignment: Our program supports key learning standards in science (life cycles, ecosystems), social studies (community, food sources), and character development.

  • Safe & Structured Environment: Your group will have a clear schedule and a dedicated guide to ensure a smooth and safe experience for everyone.

The trip was absolutely amazing! Even our driver said he can't wait to return to the farm. Some people took the opportunity to go for a walk, while others found joy in relaxing with the animals. It was truly a remarkable experience for everyone. It was so nice to hear how much fun everyone had.
