PLANNING YOUR VISIT

Most groups spend about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for the total visit. Large groups will be broken down into smaller groups (~20 students) for touring. We do have some tent space for groups wanting to have lunch or snacks. Please let us know if you plan this.

We will be open regardless of the weather. We have many students scheduled to visit. It is important that groups arrive on time. If you have schedule difficulties call Bob on cell phone at 303-931-1591 so we know you are running late.

This is an outside activity and students should come dressed for the day's weather. We will be walking on grass and fields which may be wet or muddy.

We will conduct a 20-30 minute tour where we will see and talk about tractors and harvest equipment, animals ( calves, sheep, goats, chickens, and rabbits) and their use on the farm, and how pumpkins, squash, and corn are grown. Questions are encouraged.

After the tour students can form small groups with the teachers and parents. They can go through the straw bale maze, corn maze, or go back to look at any of the things covered on the tour.

We will give each student a bag with their pie pumpkin on the way out. Each teacher can pick out one big pumpkin for their class.
