We had the BEST field trip to Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard this week! What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful fall day. Our trip started out on a yellow school bus - for some of us, it was our first time! When we arrived to the farm, we got to go on a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch. Along the way, we heard fun facts about apple trees and farming. Once in the pumpkin patch, we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin and then were able to "shop" for pumpkins and choose our own.
After our ride, we learned about corn and products made from corn. We made our way through the corn maze answering questions about apples to find the right way. In the barn, we tasted different kinds of apples and learned about parts of the apple. We even got to drink delicious apple cider!
We wrapped up our trip playing on the playground!
Thanks for sharing! ☺
