EDUCATION ON THE FARM
Greendale Acres is committed to teaching students about agriculture and the role it plays in our community. We offer two field trips, Spring & Fall.
Our aim is to provide students with a fun, hands-on learning experience where students can interact with agriculture. Our field trip is semi guided with lots of time to run and play.
Two field trip options available
Fall Field Trip: Mid September until the end
Sweet Spring on the Farm: April 11th until the end of May.
