Field Trips & Educational Tours

Horne Bay Farm offers farm tours for children of all ages. Our goal is to provide an educational farm experience that focuses on the products of a small local farm. Tours promote exploration of agriculture and include fun educational, age-appropriate, hands on learning experience.

Our Program:

• Learn about the work and products of a farm
• Visit our farm animals including sheep, pigs, ducks, chickens, cows, donkeys and horses.
• Take a hayride around the farm.
• Visit our garden in the spring and our pumpkin patch in the fall.
• Plan to stay for about 2 hours. 10:00am to 12:00 noon-
  Monday – Friday.
• Lunch: Schools are welcome to use our picnic tables for a bagged lunch.
• Facilities: A bathroom with a sink is available in our tack room at the horse stable.
• Clothing: Please make sure children are dressed for the season, the day’s weather, and with sturdy closed-toe shoes. Sandals and dress shoes are not appropriate for the farm.
• Rain: If it rains the day of your field trip, we will be happy to reschedule your visit.
