Activities and Highlights Upon arrival, the children will be seated on the porch to partake in an educational learning time about growing fruit and the pollination process. A demonstration, using visual aids, will show how an apple tree grows, blooms and is pollinated along with information about pumpkin pollination. After the demonstration, the children will go out into the orchard and pumpkin patch to learn hands on about the different varieties of fruit, the picking process, and be able to pick 2 apples and pick their own pumpkin (a size they can carry). Upon completion of the orchard tour, the children will come back to the apple barn and learn how the apples are cleaned and sorted with our machines. The children will then be separated into groups, and tour our country store where different varieties of fruit will be on display. During this time the children will be allowed to go out onto the porch and sample fruit that is in season.
Teacher will receive a free bag of apples or pumpkin (ONE FREE offer, per class). There is no charge for instructional aids or teachers on any tour. NOTIFICATION OF INABILITY TO ARRIVE AS SCHEDULED IS REQUESTED. Tours are scheduled without much flexibility. Weather varies so is best to have children dress in layers.
