School
Touring groups get to visit the fields on a tractor drawn wagon, pick their own strawberries or pumpkins (depending on season), and learn about the history of the farm. Learn about farming practices, crop production, and some of the equipment on the farm. In the fall, learn about other seasonal crops, including squash, sweet potatoes, and corn. During your stay be sure to explore the corn maze, and to try some homemade ice cream.

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.
