The guided tour includes
|
- Apple picking- 3 apples
each (depending on what variety that we are picking that day – could
be 3 different kinds of apples or 3 of the same kind)
- Hay Ride- over hill over
dale......safe, fun and a great farm experience (about a 15 min.
ride)
- 1 Really Cool Gourd-
Gourds come in all shapes and sizes – in this tour we let everyone
loose in our big gourd patch to find their favorite gourd and it is
theirs to take home. It is like a big scavenger hunt and the kids
just love it. We plant little surprises along the way such as
sunflowers and Indian corn.
- One Super Cute Apple Sipper
cup- filled to the brim with Kercher’s fresh, sweet apple
cider.
- A walk on the Corny Side-
a walk designed to do just that- a walk through the corn field with
“corny” jokes and surprises along the way. A delightful
scarecrow stands tall to make sure you don’t get lost.
- For
the older kids – Grades 1and up we have available a wonderful 20 Min. video on, “Just
what does it take to grow apples and get them ready for the grocery
stores."
- One-“Welcome to our Apple
Farm” coloring book
- We also have a picnic area and
port-a-Jon for your visiting convenience.
- Pricing is $4.00/person, adult or
child and teachers are free for groups of 20 or more.
- Bring your own bag....for all the
goodies you will want to take home!!
