Fall School Field Trips
Our school field trips offer more fun and education than any other farm field trip in the Triangle! While they are having fun, kids will also learn about our agricultural heritage by choosing a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, visiting corn and cotton growing in the fields, and learn about real animals and fish by watching and feeding them in a traditional farm habitat.
School field trips are available Monday - Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm.
