School Group Tours
Welcome School Teachers and Day Care Providers. Call now to make your reservation for the 2011 fall season. Please call Lori at 978.562.5666 ext. 2.
Bring your class to the orchard for a fun day of apple picking. After checking in with Julie at the stand in the field, you pay here and receive your picking bags- then it's onto the haywagon to the apple orchard you go!
The children will be given a brief talk on how to pick an apple and the growing of the apples. Our apple orchard for the school groups are dwarf apple trees, which only grow to 8 feet tall in full maturity - this is great for the children, everyone can easily reach and pick the apples themselves.
You will pick your apples for your own bag and then load back onto the wagon then head up to visit with our friendly farm animals.
Our farm animals include: '3 little pigs', goats, sheep, chickens & roosters, bunnies and ducks. Fresh cider is then served to everyone at the picnic tables (cider donuts may be served with the cider if ordered at .50 each).
Each child receives an Apple Orchard Coloring Book.
If you have opted for the package with the pumpkins, each child will then choose one from our pre-picked pumpkin selection in the picnic area.
