Every child will receive…
- Free cone of animal feed to use during the field trip

- A "make-n-take" activity in the spring and a kid-sized pumpkin in the fall
- Lots of great memories and learning opportunities!
PLUS a 30-minute educational lesson called 'Animal Feed Mixed Bag'. A certified on-farm educator will teach lesson #3 (page 40) from our farm's 2012 Fall Curriculum Guide, "Animal Chores".
You're children will learn about the various feed types and animal nutrition.
The 'Animal Feed Mixed Bag' lesson is at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm and the hayrides run throughout the day. Your free to discover the farm, bring and eat your snack or picnic lunch and visit the pumpkin patch at your leisure. Bottle water will be available for purchase for $1.
