Field Trips at Valley Fruits & Veggies
At Valley Fruits and Veggies, we love supporting children and their learning. When visiting the farm as part of a scheduled field trip, students learn through active participation, sensory integration, play, and so much more.
The Valley Fruits and Veggies field trip difference is that we are NOT just a pumpkin patch, we are an outdoor classroom!
