Our PreSchool Program

Fall 2024 Update

Our educational programs for the fall of 2024 are full. If you are interested in putting your preschool, kindergarten, or first grade program on a waiting list for this year, please send an email to education@jonesfamilyfarms.com.  You can also email us if you wish to be invited to register for the fall of 2025; we start the registration process the last week in August each year.

Our Preschool Pumpkin Experience, designed for groups of 15 or more, provides the opportunity to observe a working farm while enjoying a classic New England autumn activity. Enjoy a private hay wagon tour of the farm fields out to a pumpkin field. Both parents and children then enjoy the excitement of each selecting their own pumpkin! 

Upon returning to the Harvest Yard, chaperones may guide children in exploring the over 50 varieties of pumpkins, squash, and gourds grown at the farm. Children can visit some of our farm animals. Plus, our family-friendly mini-corn maze is also open daily, including to students with chaperone supervision.

Preschool Chaperones

For this program, we welcome as many adult chaperones as is desired by the school, though we do have a maximum capacity of 45 on our hayrides, so all adult chaperones must be accounted for in a school's pre-registration. Also, please note we cannot accommodate unregistered younger siblings on the tour.

School Tour Policies and Procedures

Please review our school tour policies regarding chaperones, cancellations, and payments, as well as answer many of our commonly asked questions.

Online Registration 

To start your registration process, please submit our Online Registration  form in August 2025, where you can select available days and tell us more about your school. Our farm educators will contact you over email to confirm your registration and schedule your tour.

 

As we reflect on our agricultural adventures and experiences, I find it exciting to realize that our many environmental practices work in symbiosis with the positive ecological impacts and the economic success of our farm.

I believe this is a critical message for our nation to embrace.
