OUR TOURS START PROMPTLY ON THE HOUR!

Please be on time. If you are late, part of your tour may be cut short to keep the next class on schedule. Allow approximately 1 1/2 hours for your tour, plus time for snacks or picnic lunch.

BEHAVIOR ON THE FARM:

In order to have a fun, safe and educational learning experience at the farm, our Tour Guide's directions must be followed.  We ask teachers to monitor their students' behavior at ALL TIMES. Distractive students, parents or teachers will be asked to sit out the remainder of the tour at the Tour Guide's discretion.

SNACKS / PICNICS:

We welcome you to enjoy a snack or lunch in the shade of our walnut orchard. However, we do ask you to reserve this area at the time you book your tour, so that we have an area available for you. We also ask that you clean up ALL trash after your picnic. Drinks and snacks are also available for purchase at our Country Store (Pumpkin Patch field trips only).

CANCELLATIONS:

If you must cancel your tour, please do so ASAP or no later than 48 hours prior to your tour, so we can open your space for another school. If you cancel within 48 hours of your reserved field trip time, there will be a $50.00 fee billed to your school.  Cancellations must be confirmed in order to avoid fee!

------

RAIN OUTS:

Cancellations due to rain must be made by 8 a.m. the morning of your scheduled tour, or we will have a tour guide ready to greet you at your reserved time. Please call us to check weather conditions at the farm. Our 48 hour cancellation policy does not apply on rainy days.
