A field trip to Schweizer Orchards begins with a picture book story read aloud describing the process of the apple harvest. This will be followed by a tour
of our retail store. After the inside tour, your students will be led on a
walking tour of the orchard while learning about the different trees and
varieties of apples. As a special treat, each child can pick their very
own apple to enjoy!
Before you head back to school, be sure to let your students enjoy our
playground area and stroll through the straw maze. You can easily
monitor your class as you relax at one of our picnic tables. The picnic
area is available for your use if you wish to pack a lunch or just a
midday snack for your class.
This fun and educational experience, geared toward Pre-K to 3rd graders,
has a base fee of $1.50 per child. We have other packages available for you
if you so choose.
Package 1: Basic walking tour plus apple $1.50 per child
Package 2: Walking tour, apple and small pumpkin $3.50 per child
Package 3: Hayrack Ride tour, apple and small pumpkin $5.00 per child
