School Tours

A hands-on, fun learning experience awaits you at Vesperman Farms! Your classroom for the day involves kids in a world of agriculture that isn't accessible to many of us today. 

School tours are designed for elementary school children in public schools. We have different options for homeschool groups and other groups. Please contact Morgan at morgan@vespermanfarms.com if you are not a public school group!

We host school groups on the farm Monday through Friday during fall season. We provide a staff member to accompany your group around the farm and engage the students in farm activities. Tour groups should plan for a minimum visit of two hours, and we encourage groups to bring a lunch so they can have more time at the farm.

PRICING
Cost per student: $6.00
Teacher/school chaperones: Free
Parent chaperones: $6/person

SCHEDULING
Our 2021 school group calendar is full. We're sorry if we weren't able to see you on the farm this year. Please email Morgan at morgan@vespermanfarms.com to be put on the mailing list for next year!
