Teachers, book your field trip now at Dewberry Farm where fun and learning go hand in hand. Students will mix hands-on agricultural learning experiences with good down home farm fun!
Get Lost — or Not!
Classes can take an abbreviated guided tour through the corn maze, and they will be a-MAiZE-d at the tall corn and towering bridges.
Pumpkins and Bees, if you please!
Take a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. Learn why bees are needed to grow pumpkins. We also talk about the different varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squash. Students will be able to pick their own 'kid-sized' pumpkin from the field.
The Cackle Palace: Sing it to me, Ladies!
Learn the difference between chickens and roosters and why some eggs are brown, some are white, and some have polka dots. Also, learn different names for chickens: hens, roosters, pullets, cocks, etc.
Dewberry Farm's Barnyard Babies
In 2007, our barnyard grew by leaps and bounds. It's home to baby chickens (chicks), baby rabbits (kits) and baby goats (kids).
Students have the opportunity to feed goats and visit with other animals in the barnyard, like a miniature donkey, guineas, and turkeys.
Mobile Classroom
The Southwest Dairy Association's Mobile Classroom will be at the farm several days during the Fall field trips. Please email or call the Farm for the schedule.
We are collecting lesson
plans, off-site links, coloring sheets, and other resources to assist teachers in planning
