Field Trips at Morning Grit Farm
A hands-on farm experience
An ideal group size is 25-30 students but up to 75 students can be accommodated at one time. (Minimum of 20 people.)
School field trips are offered April-October weekday mornings and afternoons. The two hour educational visit is organized and lead by Kelsey, owner, and former elementary education teacher. Please contact the farm directly for scheduling.
​
*Less structured, morning playdates to groups of 20-40 people are offered in the summer. Staff-lead horseback rides can be given and then groups can explore/play on the farm.
$5 per student/parent
Teachers are free
Younger siblings welcome if teacher allows ($5/ages 2+)
Learn about life on a farm
Stations are set up around the farm and are either staff lead or teacher lead depending on the size of your group. Each station is geared towards a group of 5-6 students for optimal hands-on time. Age of students are taken into consideration when planning stations. Time is left at the end of rotations for snack/lunch in the barn and/or free range play.
