Every fall Easy Pickin's plays host to school children from around our area.
We invite the classes in and welcome them to our farm. We take a wagon tour around the farm. We stop at the pumpkin patch
to discuss how we grow pumpkins on our farm. The children then get to wander through the pumpkin patch and pick out their
favorite pumpkin to take home. We grow just the right size of sugar pumpkins for the kids.
Next it's off to
the orchard to learn how the apples grow. We have fully-dwarfed apple trees that are trained to a four wire trellis.
Even the smallest child can pick his or her own apples from our trees. We teach the children how to pick an apple and allow
them to pick three apples to take home.
Our tour ends back where we started and we refresh the kids with a drink. Groups are encouraged
to bring along a snack to enjoy with their drink.
