Farm Visits for School & Youth Groups
Plan a trip to the farm with your class, club, camp, or homeschool group! We can work with you to design an hour long program that fits your curriculum and interests. The indoor Birthday Room and outdoor picnic tables will be reserved for your group if you choose to have snack or lunch on the farm during your visit! For groups larger than 15 students, we will split into groups and rotate between activities. We are a small farm and can only accept a maximum group size of 50.
To Book Your Farm Visit:
- Read through this page to get a sense of what we offer & pricing
- Send us an email at chipinfarmclasses@gmail.com and be sure to tell us your expected group size, type of group (school, club, camp, etc.) and any other information you think we should know.
- You do not need to have a definite date/time in mind in order to begin your booking! Feel free to send along a few dates that might work for you, and we will get back to you with our availability.
- Please note that events are not fully booked until we have received your booking deposit.

Optional Pre-visit: Farmer Sandy can visit your classroom to prepare students (and teachers!) for what to expect on the farm. She will bring some of our farm tools and explain how we use them to take care of our animals and land, and can bring our own story to read aloud about some of the things we do at Chip-in Farm! She might even teach you some fun games we play at the farm to help us learn about the world around us using all of our senses or bring along some seasonal crops from the farm for students to observe.
Bring the Farm to your Classroom
Can't make it to the farm on a field trip? We'll bring the animals to you! Options for indoor or outdoor set up. We will bring all of our own fencing and will be sure to clean up any mess before leaving (unless you’d prefer to keep that free fertilizer!) Please allow up to a half hour before and half hour after the scheduled hour long program for setup and cleanup.
