School Field Trips

The experience

Field trips at The Hunter Farm offer students an unforgettable educational experience for students in and around the Charlotte Metro Area!

We host trips on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9:30 AM or 11:00 AM, with each visit lasting up to 90 minutes. For over 30 years, we've welcomed local students to explore essential lessons about food and farming tailored to align with current school curricula.

K-2 graders* enjoy an immersive experience that engages all their senses in a working farm environment, reinforcing our core message: All Food Comes From The Farm.

Students will rotate through hands-on learning stations that support their curriculum objectives, including:

• Interacting with and comparing farm animals

• Gathering and comparing chicken eggs

• Learning about the lifecycle of a strawberry

They'll even have the opportunity to pick their own strawberries and take home their harvest (crop-dependent, of course).

*We can modify our program to accommodate preschool through 5th-grade students. Please discuss needs with Jen during scheduling.
