Give your young learners an unforgettable experience with our hands-on paddock to plate program! They'll enjoy exploring our vibrant apple orchard, discovering how apples grow, are picked, and travel from the farm to the store. This program sparks curiosity and helps children understand where their food comes from. We provide age-appropriate teaching resources and a fun workbook for the excursion day, making learning easy and exciting. Plus, with all necessary checks and resources provided, organizing the excursion is stress-free and simple!
