educational Field Trips

 

Looking for a meaningful, hands-on experience for your students or campers? At Hidden Grace Farm in Hollis, Maine, we offer immersive farm field trips that connect children with animals, agriculture, and the wonder of farm life in a fun, educational, and unforgettable way.

Our 2-hour farm experience is perfect for schools, camps, homeschool groups, and recreation departments. We welcome groups of up to 40 children and tailor each visit to be age-appropriate, interactive, and enriching.

Each field trip includes:

Guided Farm Tour
Children are introduced to our horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and more through a fun and informative walking tour. Along the way, they’ll learn what each animal eats, how they’re cared for, and the role they play on the farm.

Hands-On Animal Care
Students roll up their sleeves and take part in real farm chores—grooming horses, milking goats (when in milk), feeding pigs and chickens, refreshing water buckets, collecting eggs, and—season permitting—snuggling baby goats. These experiences foster empathy, responsibility, and curiosity about animal care.

Gardening Fun
Kids dig into the soil to learn how plants grow. Depending on the season, they may help water, weed, harvest, or even plant seeds to take home.

Tractor Time
Climb aboard real farm tractors for a photo op and get a behind-the-scenes look at how we use them on the farm.

Picnic Break
Enjoy a snack or lunch at our shaded picnic tables while taking in the sights and sounds of the barnyard.

All-Weather Farm Fun
Our brand-new barn offers a spacious covered area, ensuring your group stays dry and comfortable no matter the weather. There's also a self-serve petting area for additional hands-on time with our animals.

Group-Friendly & Convenient
We can accommodate up to 40 children at a time, provide bus parking, and offer a flexible structure that works for a variety of age groups and learning goals.

Whether you’re a public school, private school, homeschool group, summer camp, or recreation department, we would love to work with you to create a magical day at the farm that your kids will talk about long after the bus ride home.
