Parking:

• Parking is limited. We would appreciate chaperones carpooling if possible.
• Chaperones will park at the top of the hill near the fenced in play area. If that parking area is full, you may park at the greenhouse. Click to access map and look for parking signs.

Admission and Payment:

• Admission is $12 per person and includes a pint of strawberries (spring tour) or pumpkin (fall tours). Any siblings wishing to participate will be charged the standard $12 admission price and will also get to take home a plant and berries/pumpkin. Children 2 and under are FREE, however, they will not receive berries/pumpkin or plant. Those items can be purchased separately.
• Please check in and pay at the small red building, the “Snack Shack,” inside the fenced in area as soon as you arrive.
• Cash is preferred. Our mobile credit card machine is slow and multiple credit card transactions can lead to a long check-in line.

Other Miscellaneous Information:

• The field trip is approximately 2.5 hours including lunch time.
• Boots or sneakers are recommended footwear… rubber boots are advised if we have had a recent rain.
• If you have any allergies, please bring your medication! You will be exposed to dust, hay, grass, insects, animals, etc.
• Picnic table seats are limited at lunch. We kindly ask chaperones to make sure all children have a seat before seating themselves.
• Finally, we ask our chaperones to help our staff and your school’s teachers to keep an eye out for all students….particularly in matters of safety! Thanks in advance for your help!
