Dear Teachers: 

We are now in our seventeenth year of offering school tours to preschool and primary children. We strive to provide children with a safe opportunity to have fun while experiencing nature and exploring food production at the source. A farm setting is a natural setting for children to use their five senses. Our farm animals are part of the children's experience so that they can see, hear and feel nature. We appreciate you considering us as part of your classroom program. If you have any questions we would be happy to answer them. 

 

Yours truly,

Joe & Ann Lindley
