We
are beginning our 9th year of Fall Fun in the Country!
If you have not experienced our farm, we invite you to visit
us this year. This is an exciting, educational and fun field
trip for your class, club, church or group. You will experience
the many sights of Fall as well as animals and huge catfish.
We do not have any scary scenes. We offer a warm, unrushed friendly
atmosphere.
Your
Field Trip:
When
you first arrive you will board a hay wagon
for a fun trip through "Fall
Forest" where you will see scenes representing
the months August through December. Next, walk down the docks
and feed the HUGE catfish in our 11 acre lake.
You’ll wish you had your fishing pole. Then, visit all
of our Fun Fact Centers where you will learn about:
Apples: Hear the story of Johnny Appleseed.
Find out which states
grow the most apples. Learn why we like to give our teachers
an apple!
Spiders: See the live tarantulas and scorpions!
Learn about the different body parts of a spider. Learn how
many different types of spiders there are
and what they have for lunch!
Squirrels: See a live Chinchilla. Find out
how long squirrels live and how
they communicate with each other and how they sharpen their
teeth.
Scarecrows:
Learn the history of scarecrows and what their purpose was.
You will also build a real scarecrow!
Indians:
Go inside our brand new Indian Teepee and see and feel the
animal furs that were used for clothing, blankets and shelter.
Then,
proceed to our animal petting area and feed the anxiously awaiting
farm animals. From there you'll go to an area for washing your
hands. You may bring your lunch or a snack and enjoy them under
our covered picnic area. Finally, visit the pumpkin patch to
pick out your very own pumpkin-mini to carry home!
