Tours can be adjusted to meet any curriculum and allow groups to learn a bit about farming practices, trees, seeds, and plant life in Delaware. Afterwards, come to the petting farm to see burros, horses, Freedom the donkey, and more! In the fall, groups can run through the straw maze, pick a pumpkin, and learn about local trees.

FUN FACTS
The average American may eat 125 pounds of potatoes each year, but corn is actually America’s number one field crop, providing ingredients for cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. The average person eats 68 quarts of popcorn a year alone! Use a trip to an agricultural farm to find out where our fruits and vegetables come from. Compare organic, pesticide-free, and genetically engineered crops. Research the products made possible by crops grown in the U.S. (shampoos, crayons, and baseball bats all come from agricultural products, for example). Ask your local farm about the benefits of eating local or growing your own garden.
View Lesson Plan>>Scouts
Scout troops can go on a farm group tour that includes a hayride, a petting zoo, a tree education demonstration, story time, a fun play area, crafts, and more. Scout groups can learn about the agricultural tradition of Loblolly Acres and plant a crop during spring tours, which helps scouts work toward the Plant Science and Gardening merit badges. Learning about the animals of the petting farm supports the Horse or Avian Option for the Animal Science badge.
