FIELD TRIPS
A school trip to Terhune Orchards is a fun and educational way to introduce students to farming, environmental topics, and where our food comes from. Depending on the season, students might explore fall crops like apples, plant seeds while learning about gardening and life cycles, or dive into lessons on water, pollination, and pollinators—with a fun craft to take home. In the fall, tours can take a walk through the corn maze, experience the excitement of harvest time, and add on apple and pumpkin picking. Every trip includes a snack of apples and apple cider as well as access to the farm play area and a visit to our barnyard animals.

ABOUT
Terhune Orchards
At Terhune Orchards, we’re proud of our farm life—and we love sharing it with the next generation. Our educational guided tours give children a hands-on look at how farming and nature work together. Along the way, they’ll explore topics like plant parts, the water cycle, pollination, and where our food comes from. Tours include a tasty snack of fresh apples and cider. At the end of the tour, take time to visit our barnyard animals, discovery barn, and farm play area. In the fall, groups can add one pumpkin or apple picking. These fun and educational experiences are a great way to enhance classroom or homeschool lessons in science, social studies, environmental studies, New Jersey history, and more.

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.
