For the time being, based on state regulations concerning COVID-19 as well as our Board of Health's recommendations, our in person programs will be canceled through August. This cancellation may lift before the end of the summer all depending on safety and health. We appreciate your patience and hope everyone stays healthy in the next few months. We are still doing online events, take a look here to see if we can host your event online!
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.

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.
