Sunny Acres Farm

(Please let us know ahead of time is this does not work for you, we will have to adjust this. If your group is late, they will have their classes cut short and may loose out on opportunities.) This is an outdoor field trip and students should dress accordingly. The classes for each field trip are up to the sole discretion of the farm staff. Many classes depend on size and age of students. No specificclass can be absolutely guaranteed due to weather, ground conditions, and animal temperament. Please let us know of any special learning needs, this way we can adjust your trip and classes accordingly. Equine Classes:Each child will learn about horses; From how to grooma horse and meet their everyday need.(At no time will a child be unsupervised while on or near a horse.) Farmer For A Day:Everyone will also get to experience what a farmerdoes in a typical day, by getting to touch and learnabout the tools, that a typical farmer will use throughout their day. During this activity thereis a portion of time allotted topet several of our farmthe animals! Hayrides:Each group/class will get the chance to tour the farm on a tractor pulled hay wagon. (This is a fall only class.)Will have a corn maze for the students to work their way through. We also teach the students about corn products and themany uses of corn. Children will be able to meet, see and pet a few of the animals who reside at Sunny Acres. All animals used are children friendly. Basic Plant Horticulture Children Learn about a plants needs and how they grow. We encourage everyone to bring their own picnic/sack lunch to the farm to enjoy with their class. Our market does not carry ready made meals or supplies to make meals. Feel free to bring blankets to picnic on. Lunch time takes place all over the farm (Inside barns, on hay wagons… in open fields) and often not all classes will eat in the same area. $5 per parent. Adults will NOT receive pumpkins, but they are more thenwelcome to purchase a large pumpkin! • Hand sanitizer is your friend, it is always more efficient if your teachers/adults bring some. • Name labels are awesome. When the kids pick out their pumpkin you can quickly label the pumpkins or bags, so that your not writing their names over and over! When in doubt a few sharpie markers are great! • To make lunch time easier and more efficient teachers have been putting each classes lunches in a large garbage style bag and labeling it what class it is. This way you do not have to worry about carting totes around. You may want to have a parent volunteer, keep them in the vehicle… our cats are really smart and know how to open the bags!
