From the fourth of May until the twelfth of June, we welcome children of all ages to come and take part in the waking of the farm from its long-earned rest beneath winter’s quilt. 

Those who book the early weeks will see the orchard in full bloom, each tree dressed in soft color and alive with the hum of honeybees, faithful to their ancient task of pollination.

From 10 am until 1 pm, visitors will share in the work that keeps a farm alive—turning soil, tending plants, watching the slow, patient rhythms of a place shaped by seasons rather than schedules. These chores are not only useful, but they offer the kind of learning that comes not from instruction but from participation: the feel of a shovel, the sound of bees pollinating, the quiet order of a farm field. 

Here, education is not separated from the land—it is drawn from it.

• Tractor Taxi Around the Farm
• Bee Talk (students sit in the apple orchard and learn how bees pollinate)

ATTENTION Homeschool Groups:
As you prepare for your visit to the farm, we kindly ask that each group designate a leader before arriving, typically it's the person who booked the tour. Please ensure that everyone in your group knows who the leader is ahead of time. This helps us welcome you more smoothly and ensures everyone gets started on the right foot. 

Sorry we do not offer any price discounts, after-hours tours, or donut substitutes/alternatives. 

We operate rain or shine; no re-booking is available as our calendar is typically booked solid. Teacher or group representative MUST collect all money from parents and students prior to tour (it makes for a quicker check-in process).
