Like farmers, watch the weather
We are excited to welcome your child’s class to our farm. Here are very helpful suggestions to make sure your students have a great visit.
Dress like a farmer
- Dress in layers. Pack a sweatshirt or light jacket even if it will be a warm day. It can be windy on the farm at times, especially since it is on a hilltop! Hats and warm jackets are recommended on cooler days.
- Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes or boots with a tread on the bottom. We will be walking through fields, and the ground can be damp, especially in the morning.
- Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty. Wearing long pants or jeans is recommended. If there is rain in the forecast, wear a jacket, hat and shoes that will keep you dry. The fields can be damp, especially during the early morning programs.
- Watch the weather forecast. In drizzle and misting conditions we try to do as much of the program outside, especially the hayride and pumpkin harvest. Boots and a water resistant jacket with a hood are recommended. In very rainy conditions, the program moves inside to our barn but rain gear is still recommended.
We appreciate your assistance in preparing your child for their day on the farm. We look forward to meeting your child’s class and sharing the sights and sounds of a working farm during the fall harvest.
