Gaver Farm offers educational field trips to accredited public and private schools, preschools, year-round daycares and head start programs.
Field Trips provide an opportunity for children to learn about and experience agriculture on a real working farm and meet our family farm members! Guests learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin, our friend the bee, farm animals and agriculture products!
Field trips include a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkin, self-guided educational opportunities and Fall Fun Fest Admission. The cost is $8 per person for children and adults and 1 FREE teacher per class (classroom size = 20 students). We do not accept payment vouchers.
Please bring the 2023 School Field Trip Check-In Form for a quick and easy check-in.

Home-based Schooling and Home Daycare Days: September 27 and 28, 2023. Parents and their home-schooled children may take advantage of the school group rates.
