School Tours
Educational School Tours are available weekdays during October.
Come experience the sights, sounds and smells of life on the farm!
Join us for a tour out in the country and learn about the ABC's of farming!
Your class will enjoy a wide range of hands-on activities that will help them gain an understanding of farming and the important role that agriculture plays in all our lives.
Each group will be accompanied by one of our friendly and knowledgeable farm guides. Our tour provides students with firsthand knowledge of farming and ties it into the school curriculum appropriate for your class. Your students will also enjoy some down-on-the-farm fun!
All Farm Tours Include:
- A friendly and knowledgeable guide
- A wagon ride through our fields and along the scenic Niagara Escarpment.
- An up-close look at life on the farm, from fields to furry friends!
Once again we are pleased to offer agricultural tour programs of our century farm to suit every age range.
