Other Information
Each teacher receives complimentary admission as well as a free pumpkin (approximately 15 lbs.) for the class chosen from a designated area of pre-harvested pumpkins. Chaperones are suggested at a ratio of 1 per 6 children and will assist in the harvesting activity, however, they do not harevest any for themselves. Our farm is open solely to school groups during the hours 9 am to noon, so you may feel secure in your surroundings.
*We try to make our farm impervious to the weather. However, in the event of severe weather, we reserve the right to cancel the hayride and field access for safety reasons, and substitute another fun activity. Please call 24 hours in advance if you’d like to reschedule.
**Subject to Mother Nature: We will substitute other fall produce (Indian corn, gourds, etc.) in case of crop failure. Rest assured, your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us.
