WHAT TIME SHOULD WE ARRIVE?
You can expect about a 3 hour field trip on the farm -  arriving anywhere between 9:45/10am and departing sometime between 12:30/1pm. This, of course, is all dependent on your travel schedule.

CHAPERONES?
For schools coming with more than 50 students: please limit to 1 parent per 5 students in each class. (Ex. 20 students in a class = 4 chaperones). The field trip stations can only accommodate a limited number of people.

The chaperone limit does NOT apply to smaller groups or schools who do not have buses (i.e. the parents have to drive their children).

Teachers, please encourage chaperones to participate at the stations. It makes for a farmtastic day for the students!

WHAT WILL WE DO ON OUR FIELD TRIP?
Our field trips are completely planned out for you. When you arrive, we will organize classes into groups. You are also welcome to request pairing up of classes.

While at the farm, you will rotate through 5 stations with the best farm chicks in the business, to lead and teach your classes. Each station lasts approximately 15 minutes, the material is hands on and interactive, and is kept at a level where kids understand and stay interested. And TEACHERS you will be able to scratch all sorts of Georgia Standards off your list after a trip with us!

• The BARNYARD - Meet, pet, hold, & brush a variety of clean, friendly farm animals, like lambs, goats, donkeys, horses, ponies & potbelly pigs. Learn lots of fun facts about them
and discuss their jobs on the farm
• CHICKEN STATION - Hens, Roosters, big chickens, little chickens, baby chickens, eggs. Learn about what makes all of them so different and so special! And snuggle with them too!

• LUNCH - Once all the rotations are complete, you can head over to your picnic tables and relax with a picnic lunch under the old magnolias.
