School Field Trips

welcome-at-farm

With over 28 years of farm field trip experience and a capacity for the entire grade level to come all at once, Great Country Farms is the place to meet Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) requirements or homeschool curriculum and enjoy every minute of fun on the farm.

On our real working farm, field trip children 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 cherries, peaches, and green beans.

We are excited to include “Compost your lunch leftovers”as part of our Greenhouse Station(excludes the Pumpkin Tour). Students will not only learn about compost, but will be able to add their fruit and veggie scraps to our composting bins. Your group is welcome to stay and enjoy the barnyard activities after your guided tour is complete, as your time permits.
