• Arrive On Time! If your students might need a bathroom break upon arrival, you can plan to arrive earlier.

What to Bring

• Sharpies (2-3 per class) to write each child’s name on their pumpkin
• Payment
• Baby wipes and hand sanitizer
• Water bottles or other drinks
• Box or crate to take pumpkins home
• Lunch or Snack
• First aid kit, Benadryl and/or anti-itch cream, etc.

More Info

• Dress appropriately for a day on the farm – tennis shoes, sunscreen, etc
• We have full-service restrooms with a changing table available.
• It’s a great idea to have each class wear a different color shirt. This helps us visually locate a class if someone arrives late.
• Name tags with the child’s school and a teacher’s phone number. If the child gets separated from the group, we can easily contact the teacher and reunite them with the class.

Inclement Weather

If rain is predicted, you have a couple of options.

1. We recommend waiting until the morning of the field trip to make a decision about whether or not to come. So often, the forecast is incorrect and the rain may hold off until after the field trip. If it still looks like it may rain that morning, you can call us (as early as 6:00 am) to cancel or reschedule. If we feel that the weather will be poor, we will call you in the morning to reschedule.

2. We understand that sometimes waiting until the last minute is not an option. You can cancel or reschedule if you feel necessary based on the weather forecast. If this is the case, please call us to let us know of your decision so we can try to find a day and time to reschedule.
