Pumpkin- Fall Tour

Field Trip students proudly display their pumpkins they picked on their school tour at Great Country Farms.

Now Booking for October 2023

Morning Guided Tour Times are Sold Out on Fridays: October 6, 13 and 27, 2023! 

Students will learn about the pumpkin life-cycle — from seed to vine to flower to fruit to pie, and even get to pick their own pumpkin! They will discuss similarities and differences between fruits that have to be replanted every year, like pumpkins, and fruits that grow on trees, like apples. Schedule in late September and early October to have the chance to see the live pumpkin vines before the first frost, along with the actual stages of growth from flower to fruit. Tours are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays.
