School Field Trips
Kuipers Family Farm believes in connecting people with agriculture and each other. One of our favorite ways to accomplish this is by hosting school field trips where children can experience hands-on learning on a beautiful Midwest farm.
Our Apple Orchard Educational Field Trip, fully guided by our knowledgable team, includes pre and post-tour lesson plans for teachers and will focus on how apples are grown, picked, and pressed into apple cider.
Our Pumpkin Farm Activity Field Trip invites school groups into our Pumpkin FunFarm where they can explore and enjoy dozens of fun outdoor activities at their own pace.
