Field Trip

Pearson's Farm Field Trip

On October 23rd we visited Pearson's Farm - which is a cooperative of St. Joseph's College.  I had never been before and LOVED this trip!  Farmer Mike greeted us as we got off the bus - he was a SPECTACULAR host.  We learned about what gardening looks like in the fall, we visited the animals, made fairy houses and went to the pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin of our very own!

Here are a few highlights from this trip:


Turkeys!

Farmer Mike telling a story and our listeners.

 These friendly guys came to greet us at the fence - we even got to pet one!

Walking to the woods to build fairy houses.

A few of the kiddos worked together on this fairy house:

Getting ready to get back on the bus to head to school - happy with our pumpkin selections.
If you are curious about the farm and what they do, you can visit their site by clicking here.  It looks like an old link but you can see some photos and read about their farm. We will visit again in the spring during planting time to see what happens on the farm in the spring.
