Fall Farm Adventure at 9:30am

These guided farm adventures take kids through our fields on a scavenger hunt for the six plant parts—roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. When we find the plant parts, we harvest and eat them! Kids tour the Kids’ Farm in small groups with their own Farm Educator and, at the end of their Farm Adventure, take home a sugar pie pumpkin.

Who: Preschool – 5th grade
 

When:  September through November

Monday – Friday

Program times: 9:30 am, 11:00 am, 12:30 pm

NOTE: If your group is larger than 50, you will need to reserve two consecutive time slots.

Highlights:

• Explore the Kids’ Farm & play games in our Living Playground.
• Harvest and eat seasonal food crops.
• Sing songs, explore, witness the birds, bugs, bees and butterflies that call our farm home and help us keep a balanced harmony on the farm.

Getting here:

We will be using our West Entrance for field trips in 2016. Google Maps will not send you to the right place! See directions here.

Interested in MORE inspired Oxbow Education? Sign up for the Pumpkin Package. This is our three-part series that unfolds over the course of a school year. It begins with a fall visit to the farm, followed by a winter visit to your school from a farmer, and it ends with a return visit to Oxbow in the springtime. Over the course of their three classes, students will build upon their understanding of seasonal cycles in nature, how food grows, and what the farmers are doing each season.

Here’s the deal: Fall field trip + winter farmer visit = 50% off your spring field trip
