Our class spent a fun-filled day at Treworgy Orchard on Friday,
September 21st. Our day went like this... After a long bus ride we ate
an early lunch when we arrived, checked out the goats, played a little
bean bag toss, and waited for our tour to begin. We started out with a
hay ride around the farm, stopping to pick a little pumpkin in the
pumpkin patch. Some kids picked some REALLY tiny ones. Then we got to
feed the goats and even milk a goat! Next stop was the apple orchard,
where we heard about the different kinds of trees and how they stake
them up so they don't blow over. We were in a clearing where several
trees had blown over in the past due to low soil, so they just didn't
plant any more trees there. Each student got to pick and eat an apple
of their own. Next stop: corn maze! We used the map to find 6
locations and punch out characters who were suspects in a theft! The
one remaining animal, after punching the card at all 6 locations, was
the culprit. We raced up to the ice cream stand and enjoyed a treat
before hopping on the bus for the long ride home. We arrived back at
school late and I'm sure disrupted a lot of schedules, but it was a
successful, happy day on the farm!
