A total of at least 30 paying Students and Staff are required for a school field trip. (Family members do not count toward the minimum requirement except for Homeschool Trips)
Multiple Classes
Although we do allow multiple classes to visit at the same time, each class must be booked separately by their individual teachers to ensure clear instructions.

Trade the classroom walls for wide-open fields and curious alpacas! We have 4 individual stress-free self-guided learning stations plus lots of fun Gross Motor Play! Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch visits are also included! 🥪Picnic tables are available for your class so feel free to pack a bagged lunch or pre-purchase a lunch order from the Farmyard Food Truck. ⭐ The Farm Store will be open during your field trip for optional souvenir shopping.
