Scheduling a Field Trip
Our field trips are geared towards children between the ages of 4 – 7 years
of age (generally pre-school through second grade). We require adequate
supervision, since we have a limited staff to assist the children in the
field. To schedule a field trip please call or email the farm at
336-621-1264 or ruddfarm@triad.rr.com.
It’s a good idea to book early since the time slots fill up quickly.
