Teacher Information:

During a field trip to our farm, teachers must keep their class together and rotate from station to station. We do not allow classes to split into smaller groups, or for kids to split off with their parents. This keeps things running very smoothly and keeps stations from being overcrowded. This also helps ensure that everyone gets to participate in all the activities that we offer. Students usually bring a sack lunch, but we do offer concessions as well. We have plenty of picnic tables to eat lunch at.

We offer arrival times of 9:30, 10, or 10:30 am. We close at 1:30 pm.

All attendees must download and sign this waiver before visiting Country Critters Farm (one per family).

How is a field trip to Country Critters educational?

Kids get hands on experience with real farm animals. They can feel the wool of a sheep. Kids can learn where milk comes from and can milk a wooden cow.

Kids will get to learn why farm animals are important to us or why farming is important during a quick lesson in the Spring.

During Pumpkin Patch, kids can see how pumpkins grow in our patch. There is also a big board with the Pumpkin Life Cycle on it.

Problem solving is used while figuring out how to find their way out of our wooden maze.

Kids will see examples of manual propulsion while doing the duck races.

Learning can be done all around the farm!
