Field Trips at Better Farm

/

We love hosting field trips! We welcomed Autumn this yearwith the help of some wonderfully curious, silly, smart, engaged humans. This field trip focused on animal time, arts ‘n’ crafts, gardening skills, and even some time on-air in the Better Radio station.

Typical field trips at Better Farm run 2-3 hours and include:

  • A tour of the farm, including some of the history of Better Farm and a chance to explore our cabins, sauna, Art Barn, radio station, event spaces, and gardens

  • Time with the animals who found sanctuary here: pigs, horses, alpacas, chickens, dogs, turkey, and duck

  • The opportunity to record a “spot” on our radio station (if any of the students sing or play an instrument, they’re welcome to perform on-air if they like!)

  • Open arts ’n’ crafts time in our Art Barn (basic art supplies for coloring, sketching, collaging, or painting will be out on tables for unstructured time to create)

  • Picnic area to enjoy a snack

  • Games area (soccer, bocce, croquet, hula-hooping)

  • Optional add-ons include:

    • Guided art class / Choose from: Decorating pots that will then be filled with soil and flower seeds for each visitor to take home

    • Painting class (attendees paint on stretched canvas and bring their creations home)

    • Maskmaking class (paper mache)

    • Postcards/greeting cards Guided garden time,
