Farm Field Trips: How to Turn Empty Weekday Mornings Into Busloads of Paying Children (and Bring Their Parents Back on Saturday)

In 1995, an accountant named Jeff Alsup and his wife Julie bought a 12-acre hobby farm about 30 miles north of Nashville, Tennessee.

Jeff later told Fruit Growers News that most folks thought he was insane to give up a steady paycheck for farming.

In 2003 the Alsups started school tours. Two years later Jeff quit accounting. In 2009, Honeysuckle Hill Farm welcomed about 15,000 students, mostly preschool to second grade, at US$6 a child. The magazine said school tours were still the main source of the farm's business.

Here is the short answer. Farm field trips are weekday-morning bookings sold to teachers, priced per child. In 2026, published school-trip prices at the farms we checked mostly sit between US$12 and US$15 a child in the United States, C$11 to C$15 in Canada and £7.50 to £14.50 in the UK, with teachers usually free. Fill two or three mornings a week in spring and fall and dead weekdays can become steady income.

And Jeff spotted the bonus most farmers miss. The learning keeps teachers coming back, he said, and "The fun stuff gets the kids to bring their parents back."

The short answer

What it is: a one to two-hour guided visit for one or two classes, booked by a teacher, often on a midweek morning.
What farms charge (2026): US median US$12.99 a child across 7 farms we checked; Canada C$11.36 to C$15; UK £7.50 to £14.50. Teachers free; extra adults often pay.
What makes teachers say yes: a curriculum link, a risk assessment, one price per child and easy bus parking.
What makes it pay twice: a take-home voucher that brings the family back on a weekend.

Below: how to price it, book it, teach it and keep it safe, using real farms and official sources.

Why Weekday Mornings Are the Most Wasted Asset on Your Farm

Walk your farm at 10 a.m. on a Wednesday in October. The animals are fed. Your insurance, loan and wages are running. Nobody is buying anything.

School groups are the one customer who wants a weekday. Melick's Town Farm in New Jersey runs school tours Tuesday to Thursday. Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Pennsylvania even closes to the public on its Tuesday and Wednesday field-trip days.

You are not stealing from your weekend trade. You are selling time you now throw away.

Where the weekday money hides: a weekly calendar before and after adding school field trips on Tuesday to Thursday mornings — Illustration only. Three school mornings a week turn grey, empty weekdays into booked income.

As we covered in why farms struggle to get school field trips, the hard part is not the visit. It is the price, the paperwork and the phone call.

What Farms Really Charge per Child: 13 Published Price Pages

No guessing. I read the school-trip pages of 13 real farms in the US, Canada and the UK. Prices are per child, in each farm's own currency, as published when I checked on 1 November 2026. Canadian prices exclude GST or HST; Barleylands excludes VAT. Most pages name 2026; Godstone, UBC Farm, Barleylands and Cefn Mably's standard rates do not state a year.

Farm (location)	Price per child	Teachers and adults	Minimum or deposit	Includes
Tanners Orchard (Speer, Illinois)	US$7	Not stated	US$75 deposit	Wagon ride, apple or gourd, cider
Eckert's (Versailles, Kentucky)	US$12	Teachers, aides free; adults US$12	10 students	Wagon ride, pumpkin, 2 apples
Melick's Town Farm (Oldwick, New Jersey)	US$12	Teachers free; parents US$12	17 children	Cider demo, apple picking, hay ride
Kuipers Family Farm (Maple Park, Illinois)	US$12.99 orchard tour	Teachers free; chaperones pay	20 students; US$200 deposit	Guided tour, lesson plans, cider lesson
Bishop's Pumpkin Farm (Wheatland, California)	US$13	1 teacher, 1 aide free per class	Billed for 15	Hay ride, pumpkin, petting zoo
Honeysuckle Hill Farm (Springfield, Tennessee)	US$14.95	1 teacher free per 20	20 people	Hayride, play areas, pie pumpkin
Cherry Crest Adventure Farm (Ronks, Pennsylvania)	US$15	Staff free; chaperones US$15	Pay on the day	Milk, Bees, Crops, Wagon classes
UBC Farm (Vancouver, British Columbia)	C$250 per group of up to 22 (about C$11.36)	Chaperones free	Group fee	2-hour seasonal package
Pingle's Farm Market (Hampton, Ontario)	C$15 + HST	Free adults by ratio	Billed for 20	Wagon ride, beekeeper or animal keeper, craft
Prairie Gardens (Bon Accord, Alberta)	C$15 + GST	Teachers free; 1 helper free per 5	Pay at check-in	Mazes, wagon ride, mini pumpkin
Cefn Mably Farm Park (Cardiff, Wales)	£7.50	Teachers free; parents £6	15 children; £25 deposit	Train ride, lunch room
Godstone Farm (Surrey, England)	£11 off-peak; £13 peak	1 free adult per 5	Invoice before visit	4 staff-led activities
Barleylands Farm Park (Billericay, Essex)	£14.50 guided (Sept-May)	1 free adult per 6	£320 minimum under 22 children	Guided day, return voucher

Bar chart of published farm field trip prices per child at 13 farms in the US, Canada and the UK, checked November 2026 — Published school-trip prices per child at 13 farms, checked 1 November 2026. Each farm's own currency.

The honest range and median

United States (7 farms): US$7 to US$15 a child. The median is US$12.99. Six of the seven charge US$12 or more.
Canada (3 farms): C$11.36 to C$15 before tax. Two of the three charge C$15.
UK (3 farms): £7.50 to £14.50. The middle price is £11.

Across all 13 farms, 11 charge between 11 and 15 in their own currency. That is the going rate at the farms we checked.

Notice what is not in that table: a $4 visit. Older advice is out of date. Alberta Agriculture's "School Tours: Decision Making Tool" quoted $4 to $6 for a partial-day tour, but its costs are "based on 2007 values." Honeysuckle Hill charged US$6 in 2009; it charges US$14.95 a student now.

Reality Check: Oregon's farm-to-school toolkit says many farms "will charge $2-$5/child." That suits farms hosting as a public service. If the visit must pay your staff, price for the business you run.

How extension services say to set your price

The Alberta tool's pricing rules still hold up:

Set a minimum revenue per tour that covers staff, the tractor and driver, handwashing stations and the extra insurance. It noted a $100 minimum was common at established farms.
Put tax in the price. In Canada, tours are a GST-taxable service.
Take a deposit when they book and the balance on arrival.

To work out your own number, read how to price your agritourism activities and services.

Field-Tested Play: Publish one price per child and one minimum. "US$13 per child, teachers free, minimum 20 children, US$100 deposit." A teacher should know the cost per pupil in ten seconds.

The Weekday Money: A Worked Example

This is an example with my own assumptions, not a promise or a forecast. Change every number to fit your farm.

Assumptions:

3 school mornings a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
60 children a morning, which is two classes on one bus
US$13 a child, close to the US median above
An 8-week spring season and an 8-week fall season, so 16 weeks

Line	Calculation	Example result
Visits a season	3 mornings x 16 weeks	48 visits
Children a season	48 x 60	2,880 children
Ticket income	2,880 x US$13	US$37,440
If you only fill 2 mornings	32 x 60 x US$13	US$24,960
If bookings average 40 children	48 x 40 x US$13	US$24,960

That is before costs such as guides, take-home produce and extra insurance. Still, in this example, idle mornings would earn a five-figure line. Run your own numbers in the free Agritourism Revenue Calculator.

The second paycheque: parents on Saturday

Every child goes home and talks. Smart farms send something home with them.

Barleylands gives a free return child ticket voucher to each paying child on guided visits, if the school pays by the visit date.
Prairie Gardens in Alberta gives each student a mini pumpkin and a free admission ticket to its Pumpkin U-Pick Patch.
Honeysuckle Hill, back in 2010, ran a colouring contest whose entries included a coupon for one free student admission with one adult ticket.

The trick: a free child ticket only works when a parent buys an adult ticket, a coffee and a bag of apples.

Reality Check: I could not find a study that measures how many field-trip families return. A 2018 journal paper suggested children on field trips "may influence their parents' willingness to purchase local foods," but said research on the educational impact of these visits is scant. Treat the weekend effect as a bet you test, not a promise.

Field-Tested Play: Print a voucher for every child: "Bring a grown-up back this season. Your child's entry is free with one paid adult ticket." Add a code per school, so you know which schools sent weekend customers.

For more ways to raise what each family spends, see upsells that double your agritourism revenue without more visitors.

How Teachers Actually Book a Farm Field Trip

Who decides

The class teacher usually picks the trip, but she cannot say yes alone.

In US districts, the principal approves the trip and the district sets the rules. A School District of Philadelphia field-trip policy document, for example, says the principal approves the "purpose, itinerary, and duration," and that signed parental permission is needed before any student leaves school for a trip.

In England, schools follow Department for Education guidance on educational visits, and many use the Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel (OEAP) National Guidance, which names roles such as the Educational Visits Coordinator (EVC). Expect that person to read your risk assessment.

When they plan

Alberta's school-tour tool advised mailing teachers in mid-March for June tours and in mid-August for September and October tours.
A University of Florida IFAS paper found teachers in its study usually planned trips before or at the start of the school year.
Oregon's Farm Field Trip Toolkit tells teachers to contact farms at least two months before the trip, and to sort funding three to six months ahead.

If you send your flyer in October, you are a year late.

What teachers need from you

She must justify the day, collect money from 30 families, book a bus and reassure parents. Give her one page with:

The cost per pupil, in one number, and what adults pay.
The curriculum link, named in her language: "Grade 3 life cycles" or "Year 3 Plants."
Your risk assessment, ready to send.
Bus logistics: where the bus parks, where children get off, how long the drive is from town.
What to wear and bring, and where children eat lunch.

Distance matters: a University of Florida IFAS paper cites teachers willing to travel at most about 35 miles, or 45 minutes. Buses are tight too: the Economic Policy Institute reported 12.2% fewer school bus drivers on the road in September 2024 than in September 2019. Make the bus part painless and you remove one of the biggest headaches a teacher faces.

Sylvia Ganier, a former reading teacher who runs Green Door Gourmet near Nashville, said teachers look first for farms with learning built in, "because they can justify it as a day in the classroom." The Western Producer reported in 2015 that her tour numbers grew from 550 in the first year to 2,777 visits the year before, bringing in $22,000.

Where to find teachers

US: National Agriculture in the Classroom says there are state Agriculture in the Classroom programmes across all 50 states and two territories. Also try district offices, PTA newsletters and homeschool co-ops, who book weekdays too.
Canada: Agriculture in the Classroom Canada lists 10 provincial member organisations, such as AgScape in Ontario and the Classroom Agriculture Program in Alberta.
UK: List your farm free on Countryside Classroom, the teacher website managed by LEAF Education.

See partnering with schools for agritourism educational programs for building those relationships.

Your booking system

Deposit: Kuipers takes US$200; Tanners takes US$75; Cefn Mably takes £25 plus a booking fee.
Minimum: Pingle's bills for 20; Bishop's bills for 15.
Cancellation: Kuipers refunds the deposit if the school cancels at least 14 days before, or if weather forces a cancellation.
Rain: Cherry Crest says field trips are weather dependent and "rain dates are not guaranteed."
Ratios: Cherry Crest asks for at least 1 adult per 10 students; Pingle's ratios change by age.
One payment: Bishop's asks the school for one lump sum, not separate payments from parents.

The six-step farm field trip booking flow from teacher enquiry to follow-up — A simple booking flow: enquiry, date hold, deposit and terms, pre-visit pack, visit day, follow-up.

Field-Tested Play: Have one person own the diary. Alberta's tool recommends a single scheduler to avoid double bookings. Hold a date for seven days, then release it if no deposit arrives.

Write your bad-weather policy before the season starts.

Lesson Plans That Make a Principal Say Yes

A visit sells when a teacher can write "science lesson" in her plan, not "day out." Borrow from three free sources:

US: the National Agricultural Literacy Curriculum Matrix, a "free database of standards-based lesson plans and resources for K-12 educators," searchable by grade and standard.
Canada: Agriculture in the Classroom Canada's free Curriculum Connected Resource Library, plus your provincial programme.
UK: Countryside Classroom's resources, LEAF Education's farm-visit training and the industry Code of Practice for farm visits.

Then name the standard. Many US states use the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS); England has its national curriculum for science. Each sample below rotates small groups through stations. CAFF's farmer guide Making the Farm Connection says "Four groups of six to fifteen students is ideal."

Timeline of a two-hour field trip where four small groups rotate through four farm stations — Example timing. Every group visits every station once, with handwashing before the snack.

Sample visit 1: Pre-K and kindergarten (90 minutes)

Theme: What do plants and animals need?

Curriculum link: NGSS K-LS1-1, describe patterns of "what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive." In England, the Year 1 topics Plants and Animals, including humans.

Station 1: Feeding time. Name what an animal needs: food, water, shelter. Look, don't touch, for poultry and young calves.
Station 2: Thirsty plants. One seed tray gets water, one does not.
Station 3: Short wagon or walking tour, then wash, snack and goodbye. Keep stations to 15 minutes.

Sample visit 2: Grades 1-2 or Year 2 (100 minutes)

Theme: Who helps the plants?

Curriculum link: NGSS 2-LS2-2, "Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal" in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants. In England, Year 2 pupils learn that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults.

Station A: A pipe-cleaner "bee" moves pollen between flowers.
Station B: Walk a field edge in old socks over shoes and count the seeds that hitch a ride.
Station C: Match farm animals to their young.
Station D: Plant a seed to take home.

Sample visit 3: Grades 3-4 or Year 3 (2 hours)

Theme: Life cycles on the farm.

Curriculum link: NGSS 3-LS1-1, "Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles" that all share birth, growth, reproduction and death. In England, Year 3 pupils "identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants" (roots, stem or trunk, leaves and flowers).

Station A: Cut open apples or pumpkins and find the seeds.
Station B: Pull a whole plant and label its parts.
Station C: An egg-to-chicken card game at the coop fence.
Station D: Wagon tour with a "spot the life stage" sheet.

Sample visit 4: Grades 5-8 or Key Stage 3 (2 hours)

Theme: The farm as a business.

Curriculum link: maths, economics and food systems. Ask which units she is teaching.

Station A: Weigh a crate and price it. Green Door Gourmet uses potato weighing for maths.
Station B: Test drainage in two soils.
Station C: Interview a farm worker about careers.
Station D: Given the costs, find the ticket price that breaks even.

Field-Tested Play: Ask a retired teacher to check your script. Alberta's tool recommends exactly that, and Honeysuckle Hill's tours were shaped by Julie Alsup, a teacher, with three retired teachers on staff by 2010. Kuipers includes pre- and post-tour lesson plans in its price. Do the same.

The UK Route: Paid Visits, CEVAS and the VED1 Grant

UK farmers get something Americans do not: funded training and, in England at times, a government payment for visits.

CEVAS, the Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme, trains farmers to run safe, engaging visits. In July 2026, AHDB and LEAF launched "Open Your Gate," aiming for one million on-farm learning experiences by 2031, with 80 fully funded support places for farmers in England, including CEVAS training (that round closed on 5 October 2026).

One CEVAS-trained farmer, James Loder Symonds of Nonington Farms near Canterbury, was hosting more than 50 farm visits a year and had welcomed over 1,500 schoolchildren, AHDB reported in 2023.

VED1: Educational access visits is part of Defra's Capital Grants for farms in England. On gov.uk it pays £363 per visit, up to 25 visits a year, for a maximum of £9,075 a year or £27,225 over a three-year agreement. Each visit needs a guided tour of at least two hours, a risk assessment and a signed site visit declaration.

Reality Check: VED1 visits must be free. Gov.uk says you must not "charge for visits" or receive any other direct income relating to the visit. So a VED1 visit and a paid school trip are two different products. Capital Grants 2026 opened on 30 July and had closed by 1 September 2026, its £225 million budget allocated, with no 2027 date confirmed. Check gov.uk before you plan around it.

Safety: The Part That Protects Your Farm and Your Name

One sick child can undo years of goodwill. If you keep animals, also read handwashing and animal contact rules for petting zoos and the hard lessons in the Bengtson's pumpkin farm E. coli case.

Handwashing and animal contact

The 2023 Compendium of Measures to Prevent Disease Associated with Animals in Public Settings, published by NASPHV with CDC and partners, says:

Washing with soap and water "is still preferred." Alcohol sanitiser can help but does not work well on dirty hands.
Visitors should wash their hands straight after leaving the animal area, with staff near exits to encourage it.
No food, drink, toys, pacifiers, bottles or strollers in animal areas.
Children under 5 should not have direct contact with higher-risk animals such as preweaned calves, reptiles and live poultry.

The UK's Health and Safety Executive goes further on gels: "alcohol gels and wipes are not a substitute for hand washing on farms." It says washing facilities should be enough for the number of visitors expected to use them at one time, with running water, soap and paper towels. The industry Code of Practice on animal contact, endorsed by HSE, comes with a supplement for teachers. And CDC says scrub for "at least 20 seconds."

Vehicles, machinery and the farm itself

HSE is blunt: "Farms are not playgrounds." For trailer rides it wants secured seating, guard rails, safe mounting and dismounting, and a responsible adult supervising children. Any machinery the public can reach needs the keys out and the cab locked.

Ratios, allergies, toilets, first aid and weather

Ratios: write them into your booking terms. CAFF's guide recommends at least one adult for every ten students.
Allergies: confirm allergies, special needs and the rain plan a week ahead, as Vermont FEED's guide advises.
Toilets: count them against the group size and keep them stocked.
First aid: name a first-aider and set a lost-child plan, using our first aid and emergency plan guide.

Insurance and Paperwork: The Questions to Ask

This is not legal advice. These are the questions to take to your agent, your lawyer and the school.

Questions for your insurance agent

Does my farm policy cover school groups at all? Ohio State University's agricultural law programme warns that with many general farm policies, "there is no coverage unless the landowner has added a specific agritourism rider."
What limits do schools in my area ask for? The School District of Philadelphia, for example, asks approved field-trip sites for general liability of US$1,000,000 per occurrence and US$2,000,000 in aggregate.
Can you add the school district as an additional insured, and how fast can you issue a certificate of insurance? Philadelphia wants the actual endorsement, not just the certificate.
Am I covered for animals, wagon rides and food I serve? Get answers in writing, as a University of Minnesota Extension blog post advises.

Start with our guide to agritourism insurance and what coverage you need.

Questions for your lawyer

Does my state have an agritourism liability law, and what must I do to qualify? The National Agricultural Law Center says "over half of the states" have statutes that address agritourism. Minnesota's, for example, requires plainly visible warning signs. See agritourism laws by state and where to post agritourism warning signs.
How much does my state's law actually protect me? Ohio State's factsheet says that even where they exist, immunity laws do not give operators absolute liability protection.
Should parents sign a waiver, and would it hold up for a minor? Read do liability waivers protect your farm? before you print one.

Questions for the school or district

Do I need to be on your approved vendor or field-trip site list? Philadelphia adds sites to its list once their insurance is accepted.
Whose insurance covers students and parent volunteers? CAFF's guide notes that school groups are typically covered by their district's insurance on school-sponsored trips, but that a school's insurance does not cover parent volunteers or chaperones. Confirm yours.
Do you require background checks for any farm staff who will be with students? Rules vary, so ask.

Reality Check: A school can love your visit and still say no because your insurance certificate arrived late or named the wrong body. Get the district's exact wording on the first call.

What This Looks Like on a Durian Farm in Malaysia

I am Stephen Loke, the founder of Bloopy Durians in Bentong, Malaysia. Our farm has been featured in Bloomberg News and Asahi Shimbun.

To be precise: the student groups we have hosted are university groups, not school classes. Taylor's University and TAR UMT have each sent a busload of students.

A busload works on the same idea Honeysuckle Hill built on: plan once, serve a whole bus.

We also welcome visitors from all over the world, including Germany, Thailand, Japan, Russia, Australia, the UK, Canada, America, China and Hong Kong. Many companies send their staff and management to the farm.

Our durian seasons run about four to five months a year, roughly December to February and June to August. Visitors reach the farm by a four-wheel-drive adventure, meet our chickens, geese, ducks and fish, and can pitch tents. Each is a "station" a teacher could build a lesson around. If a farm reached by four-wheel drive can host a busload of students, your farm can host a class.

Your 30-Day Plan to Book Your First Farm Field Trip

Start small. Vermont FEED's guide suggests "starting with just 10 school visits a year."

Days 1-5: Walk the farm. Pick four stations, the bus drop-off, handwashing point and toilets.
Days 6-10: Call your insurance agent with the questions above.
Days 11-15: Set your price per child, minimum, deposit and rain policy.
Days 16-20: Match each station to one grade's standards. Write a one-page teacher sheet.
Days 21-25: Write your risk assessment and print the safety checklist.
Days 26-30: Email five schools and one homeschool group, and contact your Agriculture in the Classroom team (or Countryside Classroom in the UK).

Run one practice visit with a friendly teacher, fix what breaks, then open your diary. For inspiration, read our Kuipers Family Farm case study and the story of one preschool trip that grew into 15,000 children a spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I charge per child for a farm field trip?

Based on 13 farms' published prices, checked in November 2026, most US farms charge US$12 to US$15 a child (median US$12.99), Canadian farms C$11 to C$15 before tax, and UK farms £7.50 to £14.50. Teachers are usually free; extra adults often pay the child price. Set a minimum group charge.

When should I market farm field trips to teachers?

Earlier than you think. Alberta's school-tour guide advised mailing teachers in mid-March for June tours and mid-August for autumn tours. Oregon's toolkit tells teachers to contact farms at least two months ahead.

Do I need special insurance to host school groups?

Ask your agent. Ohio State University warns many farm policies give no agritourism cover without a specific rider, and districts may ask to be named as additional insured.

Is hand sanitiser enough after children touch animals?

No. The 2023 NASPHV Compendium says soap and water is still preferred, and the UK's HSE says gels and wipes are no substitute for hand washing on farms. Provide running water, soap and paper towels at the animal exit and before any food.

Can UK farms get paid by the government for school visits?

In England, sometimes. Defra's VED1 item pays £363 per visit, up to 25 a year, but visits must be free. The 2026 round closed once its budget ran out, and no 2027 date was confirmed when we checked.

Do school field trips really bring families back on weekends?

At least one farm owner says so, and farms such as Barleylands and Prairie Gardens give each child a free return or U-pick ticket. Published research on return rates is thin, so track your vouchers with a code per school.
