What to Expect

Field trips are structured with guided learning stations lasting 1 to 2 hours. After the stations, students can choose to have a snack or lunch and enjoy extra time for exploration.

The topics covered at the learning stations include soil health, regeneration, composting, seed germination, water conservation, beekeeping, organic farming practices, farm animals, and more.

Each station offers hands-on activities for students to engage with. Teachers should plan 3 hours total for field trip.

How to Prepare

To ensure your field trip at Big Jim Farms is a fun and smooth experience, here’s what you need to prepare:

First, bring plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated throughout the day. Pack a lunch or snacks to enjoy after the educational activities, as there will be time to take a break and relax.

Don’t forget sunscreen to protect from the sun, as much of the day will be spent outdoors. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that are suitable for walking around the farm and getting a little muddy!

For transportation, please plan ahead and consider carpooling, as parking is limited. Buses can drop off at the main gate but must park offsite.

Finally, ensure that you’ve made your reservation in advance and have your payment ready upon arrival. We’re excited to welcome you to Big Jim Farms for a memorable day of learning and fun!

New Spring Curriculum

We’re excited to introduce our brand-new spring curriculum at Big Jim Farms! If your students have visited us before, this is a perfect opportunity to dive into fresh, hands-on learning with our updated Spring-Themed Learning Stations.

This year, we’ve added even more interactive, STEAM-based activities that focus on environmental stewardship both on the farm and at home. Students will explore backyard conservation, learn about gardening and sustainable farming, and discover the magic of composting and regenerative practices. They’ll even get to visit our new earthworm farm and see firsthand how these little creatures help build healthy soil.
