Children attending a field trip will enjoy guided tours, and additional items such as planting kits, gem bags, pick you own items, etc depending on the tour. Adults chaperoning a field trip, may check in with your Season Pass, pick up your complimentary wristband and then join the field trip as a chaperone without the additional items included for the field trip. Do you have a CSA or Farm Club This Season?
Is the produce organic?
Great Country Farms makes every effort to use organic, regenerative and sustainable farming methods, such as plasticulture, companion planting, and no-till planting; however, our crops are not certified organic. We grow our garden without synthetic chemical fertilizers or herbicides, and we enrich our soils extensively with compost, but we do use an integrated pest-management system in our orchards and on some of our field crops when pest pressure threatens the yield. We are constantly researching and implementing sustainable growing practices to better care for the land with which we have been blessed to steward and consider our Strawberries “better than organic”.

We do ask that you ride the wagon to our pick-your-own fields. That way we can guide you to the areas where fruits and vegetables are ready for picking, and we can know where guests are in the fields. Storms may come up very quickly, and when they do we want to get everyone out of the fields safely.
