Farm Fun
It's not just educational, a visit to the farm is always fun.
We feature seasonal events such as our Fall Harvest Festival to celebrate a
bountiful season. Kids love our corn maze and pick-your-own pumpkin patch.
You can pick your own top quality produce, starting in June with lucious
strawberries and a wide variety of vegetables. July and August is the time to
pick apples, flowers, blueberries, and blackberries. In September and October,
pick your own grapes, raspberries and pumpkins for that savory autumn delight.
Enjoy the animals in our petting zoo throughout the season.
Come and see the honey bees busy (buzzy) at work making honey.
Birthday Parties
Our farm is also the perfect place to celebrate your child's birthday. We
specialize in fun when it comes to birthday parties.
Children can milk-a-cow, take a hayride, enjoy
our barnyard petting zoo, visit our greenhouse, enjoy a picnic lunch
and even pick their own seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Our dates can fill up quickly, so
give us a call and reserve a spot today!
Be A-mazed!
We've taken eight
acres of field corn and cut the rows into a winding maze of twists and turns. The eight-foot
high corn stalk alleys zig-zag through the field, with lots of dead ends and even a room to
rest.
The corn maze will be open throughout the months of September and October, during
raspberry and pumpkin season. Kids can try the maze as many times as they like for a nominal
fee. Moms and Dads are welcome to wander the maze at no charge as long as they stay with
their children - because parents sometimes get lost.
School Tours on the Farm

Just send us pictures from your visit to Kelder's Farm
and we'll feature your school picture here on our website.

Since we are also interested in passing on our agricultural heritage to our children,
we host educational (and FUN) school tours throughout the school year.
Kids can milk a cow and learn about the operation of a family farm.
Come and see the honey bees busy (buzzy) at work making honey.
Take a hay ride and enjoy the great outdoors, nature's own classroom.
Extend Learning with a Visit to Nature's Classroom
School tours offered April-October.
Our farm is a wonderful place for your students
to see the wonders of nature. Our school tours are educational and fun, extending the school
curriculum with hands-on activities. We provide students with a well-rounded
look at a family farm, fruit and vegetable farm and greenhouse (during the
spring months).
We try to tailor each tour so that
activities are age appropriate and relate to recent topics of study in
school. A day on the farm is fun for children of all ages, even chaperones
and teachers!

| The perfect pumpkin!

A visit to our farm is a great way to begin or
end the school year, as tours can be scheduled during the fall months of
September and October or during the spring months of April through June.
Activities vary with the season.
During the fall, children can milk-a-cow, take a hayride, make
their way through our
corn maze, enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawns
and pick their own pumpkins or raspberries.
During the spring, children can milk-a-cow, take a hayride, enjoy
our barnyard petting zoo, visit our greenhouse, enjoy a picnic lunch
and even pick their own
strawberries during the month of June.
Students go home with produce, educational materials and a whole lot
of great memories. We hope they leave with a better understanding of
family farming and agriculture too.
Our dates tend to fill up quickly, so
give us a call and reserve a spot today!
Our teacher resource page
has classroom activities and resources related
to farming, produce and agriculture.
