Things to Remember:

• We recommend traveling as one or two classes during your self-guided field trip (the only required activity for your school to do together will be picking in the strawberry patch at your assigned time slot).
• 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.

WHAT’S INCLUDED: 

Access to our weekday fun farm activities! A full list of the weekday activities that are included is listed below!

Your admission ticket does NOT include strawberries. You can buy pick-your-own strawberries separately at the farm. We also ask that you do NOT pick your own berries while you are helping supervise students picking their berries in the field. We ask that you go pick your berries when the students have finished picking their pint of berries.

If you would like to order pre-picked berries, you will need to call the farm at 706-769-0627 to see if we have berries available to reserve separately from the field trip.

Inclement Weather

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

We recommend waiting until the morning of the field trip to make a decision about whether or not to come. So often, the forecast changes 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 6:00am) to cancel or reschedule. If we feel that it would be best not to do the field trip due to weather conditions, we will contact you as soon as possible.

We understand that sometimes waiting until the last minute is not an option. You may cancel or reschedule if you feel that it’s 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.
