Schedule your field trip today.

Field trips can be booked for mornings or early afternoon for your schoolgroup.
The cost per person is $5  this includes all students and parents
for the $5 the student will receive a hayride, a pumpkin that they can pick directly
out of the field.

Once all students arrive there is a short presentation about pumpkins and a
pumpkin will be carved. This presentation is geared towards the age group of
the class
The group is then escorted to and board the hayride which will then leave
when everybody is secure.
The hay ride can accommodate up to 50 people provided children sit on
parents laps. If the group is larger than that we generally will split the
group into two groups. One group will go to the playground while others take
the hayride and then we switch groups. If  possible we run 2 hayrides at the same time.
Our hayride is approximately a 15 minute ride around and through the farm
also through what’s called spooky woods.
at the end of the hayride we will stop at the end of a field which contains
pumpkins about the size of a small soccer ball .  there each student will be
allowed to pick one pumpkin for themselves which they carry a few hundred feet
back to their cars or buses.

Each parent will will get a hayride but a pumpkin is not part of their ticket.
Pumpkins will be available for parents to purchase.
Often groups bring snacks and play in the play area when pumpkin picking is
complete
