Chix eat Grains
We've heard that a rooster may call other chickens to eat it first when he finds food. He will make a squeaky clucking sound--and poke the food around the ground a bit. Mother hens also do this when calling their chicks.

Teacher Resources are available to all teachers who reserve a field trip with Kackleberry Farm. Some Lesson Plans are password protected, and with a reservation comes the password.

Spring Field Trip Information:

Monday thru Friday
March 30 through May 11
Spring Tour
Cost: $6 per person*

Come to Farm Kamp ... where students can become farmers for a few hours.

Hosting an interactive farm camp is our new approach to a hands-on learning experience about agriculture. Each field trip will be like a summer camp adventure, with different activities each day of the week -- just as farmers have different chores throughout the season! Students will be participating, instead of just watching.

Farm Kamp sessions last 1-1/2 to 2 hours each, with plenty of play time in our Korral.

NEW! Go GeoCaching: Spring, 2012

Navigate around the farm through an educational geocaching adventure. This field trip covers a bunch of educational standards and is fun, too! Especially engaging for older students. There's lots of action.

NEW! We're Growing Submarines: Spring, 2012

See worms at work and learn about composting. Feed farm animals and chickens. Visit vegetable and grain patches of our new Submarine Farm! Other activities may include old-fashioned water pumping, catching tadpoles, shelling corn, gathering eggs, observing bees in their hive, looking for crawfish, visiting our baby alligators ... and more! It's all in the life of a farmer.
