Spring and Summer Tours at Christian Way Farm Spring and summer tours focus on our "favorite foods." The theme rotates from year to year as we look at all the plants and animals grown for a particular meal. We have emphasized hamburgers and French fries, pizza, and tacos.  Our theme in 2008 is a "Sack Lunch Garden." Visit the farm and help us explore the garden to find many of the foods the farmers grow so you can pack your lunch. Spring and summer tours include the following: Story time: We will talk about the history of our theme food and the ingredients that farmers grow for that food. As part of the story we look for lessons in the garden that encourage us to make positive choices in our lives. Planting: Spring: We will take you into the garden and let you help us plant seeds or plants according to the garden schedule. Summer: We will go to the garden and either plant a late crop or we begin harvesting the crops planted by our earlier visitors. Tractor wagon ride: Travel around the farm as we visit farm animals at another barn. Feeding the animals: Help feed and pet the animals. We will provide grain for the animals to eat and often times a bottle to feed to a baby calf. Plant your own seeds: We will help each person plant seeds (usually pumpkin or sunflower seeds) in a small container to grow in their backyard. Playtime: No trip to the farm is complete without playtime. The corn truck will be available for children to play in like a giant sandbox. We encourage removing shoes as one step into the corn box and shoes are full of corn! There are ample areas for playing ball or other games teachers may want to do to encourage expending energy! We keep a supply of balls available for our visitors' use. The tricycle track will be available as well as a small swing set for our youngest visitors. Stop by our photo gallery to see these fun spring/summer attractions! Cooling off in the summer: If arranged with the tour, we can plan some kind of water games to help our summer visitors cool off. We will discuss that with you as we schedule your visit. Lunchtime: Picnic areas are available for your use. Visitors need to bring their food, but we have water and lemonade available for our guests at no charge. Canned sodas and bottled water are available for purchase. A group tour typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the guided part of the tour, depending on the size of the group. You should allow extra time for playtime and for lunchtime. We try to schedule groups so that you have ample opportunity to play and enjoy the picnic are. Depending on the time of your tour, your playtime and/or lunchtime might occur before your tour. That can be discussed at the time we schedule your tour. Restroom Facility: Check out our new "old" facilities. It may look like an outhouse, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at the modern conveniences in an old farm building. |
