What would a field trip look like for older students?

We have an amazing education coordinator here on our farm who can tailor a field trip for any age!

Older elementary students enjoy (while still learning!) interaction with the animals, hayride, tour of the calf barns, and a scavenger hunt! (Plus the corn maze in the fall!)

Our dairy and crop teams are also happy to work with Old McDonald's Farm to put together a learning experience for high school and FFA groups that combines more advanced math, science and technology concepts. (Cost TBD by experience)

Feel free to reach out to us with any special requests or questions regarding a specific curriculum!
