Strawberry Hill

You  will begin your field trip at Strawberry Hill with our lesson on the  plant lifecycle and the process of growing berries.  After your lesson,  we will load onto the tractor-drawn wagon for a guided tour of the farm.  Students will catch a glimpse of our strawberry & peach crops as  they ride! They will also get a first hand view of our irrigation pond.  Students will get off of the wagon to pick a few strawberries for  tasting during this time. Students will learn about plant science, including: • Basic needs of a strawberry plant • Life cycle and structure of a strawberry plant • Weather effects, including seasonal changes on a farm • Importance of pollination & use of honey bees • Relevance of irrigation system • Different jobs in agriculture

Field trip cost: $13 per student or chaperone/siblings

Field Trip cost includes wagon ride, educational tour of farm, pint of strawberries to take home, educational coloring book, & a scoop of homemade strawberry, vanilla or chocolate ice-cream.

Ages 2 & under are free (this also means they don't get a scoop of ice cream, but you can buy more in the cafe).
