SCHOOL
Educational programs at Ramsey’s Farm are geared toward grades K-3, but can provide a thought-provoking trip for students through grade 12. The educational hayride allows students to learn about farm crops, the growth cycle of pumpkins, the effects of weather on farming, visit farm animals, and more. The farm can also provide fun trivia to help students navigate the corn maze, or teachers can create their own using the farm’s template.
Special Program: The “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” anti-bullying program includes a visit to the two-acre sorghum maze to read the Spookley story. At the end of the maze, students can sign the anti-bullying pledge and take their class picture with Spookley!

Farm Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
The average American may eat 125 pounds of potatoes each year, but corn is actually America’s number one field crop, providing ingredients for cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. The average person eats 68 quarts of popcorn a year alone! Use a trip to an agricultural farm to find out where our fruits and vegetables come from. Compare organic, pesticide-free, and genetically engineered crops. Research the products made possible by crops grown in the U.S. (shampoos, crayons, and baseball bats all come from agricultural products, for example). Ask your local farm about the benefits of eating local or growing your own garden.
