Summer Fun Farm Tours

Get Outside - Pick, Play, Learn

Our Summer Fun Tours are ideal for camps and daycares with children 3 to 12 years old. 

Summer is a more relaxed time but we still need to be active and do interesting things. Our tours are fully guided by experienced instructors who know that.  The focus here is to experience the farm while making learning fun.
