Educational Farm Adventures for Elementary Students
Bring your students to experience authentic farm life at Big John's Farm Market & Greenhouse! Our field trips provide hands-on learning opportunities that combine education with outdoor fun. Perfect for preschool through 4th grade, each visit includes hayrides to our dedicated school pumpkin patch, interactions with farm animals, and exciting activities that teach children about agriculture and farm life.
Field Trip Overview
What's Included in Your Field Trip
Every field trip includes a scheduled hayride to our special school pumpkin patch where students can select a small pumpkin to take home. After the hayride, students have unlimited access to all yard activities for as long as you'd like to stay. Most groups enjoy 2½ to 3 hours of farm fun, with many schools bringing lunch to enjoy at our picnic tables.

Success Stories
Why Schools Love Big John's
Last fall, we welcomed many schools to our Lowell location! Teachers love our authentic farm experience that focuses on education rather than entertainment. Our giant slide and real hayride to an actual pumpkin patch set us apart from other venues, creating memories that last long after the field trip ends.
