School tours start at 9:30 and 12:30 Monday through Friday. We are only able to have 6 classrooms for each tour time, making your tour more personalized. Your students will experience what it is like to be on a real, working orchard. We start our tours viewing three demonstration areas: bees (no live bees in area), trees, and farm equipment. And occasionally Johnny Appleseed, (aka Ron Green of Bristol, IN), comes to our orchard to visit with the students.
After students have visited each area we all walk out into the orchard and students pick a 1/4 peck of apples right off the trees. We then walk back to our common area where eveyone gets a taste of apple cider, Amish Peanut Butter and our famous Caramel Apple Dip. Tours last between 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Many schools choose to bring blankets and have lunch on the lawn of the orchard.
We pride ourselves on providing a fun and educational experience for students.
