Fall Farm Adventure at 9:30am

FALL FARM ADVENTURE

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 farmer educator and take home a sugar pie pumpkin.

Who: Preschool – 5th grade

When:  mid- September to mid- November

Monday – Friday

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

(Fall Adventure programs are approx. 75 minutes)

The Pumpkin Package is a three-part series that allows your class to discover how Oxbow changes throughout the seasons.

The program unfolds over the course of a school year. It begins with a fall visit to the farm, followed by a winter farmer visit to your school, and ends with a return visit to Oxbow in the springtime. The three progressive lessons help students understand how nature’s cycles mimic the changing seasons, and how people are connected to the earth through the food that we eat.

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