School Field Trips to Black Island Farms
Teachers, book your field trip now because fun and learning go together when your students visit Black Island Farms. Students will soak up knowledge—without realizing it with good farmin' fun!!
Having grown up on a farm, we believe it is important that the heritage and dynamics of agriculture is something that all children should have the chance to be exposed to.
It just so happens that we're able to accomplish that goal in a fun and unique way. We invite you to bring your students to get lost in our 'Classroom in the Corn".

Field trips are available for school groups September 18 through October 31, 2009. Early bird special! Book your field trip for Sept. 18 through Sept. 30 and pay $3.50 per student! We do field trips Monday through Friday of every week during this period.
