Group Field Trips

Appropriate for any age group

Fun combined with an Educational Agricultural Experience, Maureen Kercher’s 21 years worth of experience in leading school field trips shines through when you experience one of our many trips conducted each fall.  She is a seasoned tour guide who knows her stuff and knows how to talk to kids of all ages. She will lead your group with a sense of humor and appreciation of what it takes to run a modern day apple orchard and farm.

The guided tour includes

  • Apple picking bag for everyone (you’ll need this to take all your goodies home!
  • 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.
