Farm Visits

Plan a trip to the farm with your class, club, 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. 

Activities may include:

• ​Animal care and farm chores
• Egg collecting, cleaning, and grading (sorting by weight)
• Fab 5 Scavenger hunt to discover the 5 things plants need to grow (with take-home craft)
• ​Rabbit care
• Sheep shearing and/or wool working
• Weeding/harvesting in the crops field 
• Forest time in our outdoor play space
• Farm & Forest art​

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.
