Farm Visit Sign Up

A trip to Gallmeyer Farms provides many valuable, teachable moments for your students. The opportunity to visit a real working farm and see where and how food is grown and the fun of choosing and picking fruit is a rare and unique lesson. As educators, it's our job to provide children a sense of wonder and joy. Often it is our attitude that determines theirs. Help us make their Gallmeyer Farms EXPERIENCE a wonderful one!

If you sign up for a field trip in May, you will be visiting The Berry Patch.
If you sign up for a field trip June-September, you will be visiting The Veggie Stand.
If you sign up for a field trip in October, you will be visiting The Pumpkin Patch.

For only $10 each Field Trip Participant will receive:

A bag to carry the one pumpkin that they choose. (chosen pumpkin must fit inside of the bag without tearing)...Or a two quart container to put strawberries in. Gallmeyer Farms is not responsible for the quality of the fruit children pick. Since Gallmeyer Farms is providing a bag for your pumpkin or strawberries, backpacks are not allowed in the field or on the hay ride. Please check this box to agree to these limitations.
A coloring book
A private hayride for the group
An educational presentation on the growth process of the pumpkin plant OR strawberry plant, from transplant through the relationship with the honeybee and ending with how we benefit from their relationship (must be requested on site) The educational presentation lasts approximately 15 minutes.
Picnic and play areas are also included. However, we have no way to store lunchboxes during field trips. Please make provisions for storage of lunchboxes should you need to do so.
The average field trip lasts for approximately 1.5 hours, but there is no limit. You can stay as long as you wish.
