Depending on the time of year, students can learn about fall crops – apples and how they grow; learn about gardening and plant seeds, and plant life cycles or learn about water and pollination, and create a pollinator craft to take home. Visit during the fall to explore the Adventure Barn, a life-size storybook, corn maze; and go apple and pumpkin picking.

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.
