Open booking for the 2026–2027 Farm Smart field trip season is almost here! Mark your calendars—booking opens Monday, August 24 at 8:00 AM and spots fill quickly on a first come, first served basis.
Before you reserve your visit, please take a moment to review a few important updates for this school year:
🌱 Field trips will now be $5 per student with a $150 minimum charge to help offset increasing operational costs.
🚜 We can accommodate 50 students and 10 adults per day, so larger groups should plan to book multiple dates.
📚 Fall field trips will be offered Tuesday–Friday from October through December (excluding holiday breaks).
We can't wait to welcome your students back to the farm for another season of hands-on agricultural learning!
