With more than 25 years of farm field trip experience and an understanding of homeschool curriculum and students’ flexibility, Great Country Farms offers field trips and options tailored especially for homeschool groups.
On our real working farm, students have the opportunity to see how produce grows or mine for precious stones. In addition, all students will enjoy a wagon ride tour of the farm. Our field trips are seasonally based with a focus on the bounty of the season such as strawberries in the spring and pumpkins in the fall. Our summer field trips feature summer fruits or vegetables such as peaches, blackberries and green beans. You can choose from five of our educational tours that we offer here at the farm or even combine two together! Click on the tour below to find out more!
