Information for Teachers - Field Trip reference

Our field trips create a positive educational experience emphasizing up close encounters, lots of fun for all ages, in a clean, safe learning environment.

Children learn a respect for the animals as they witness their beauty, their characteristics and experience their behaviors first hand. We teach about agricultural careers and share about food sources and farm products.

Teachers are always welcome to visit the farm prior to your students’ trip.

Field trips are offered from September, October to November, and March, April, May and early June. Cost is $7 per person. We offer a Christmas theme in December.

Now you can view or print the information about our field trips online. See forms listed below.
The Horse Sense sheet will be sent to you with your personal field trip details after your trip is scheduled.

To register, use Best of Breed form or register online.
