Education
+ Fun = A Day at Miller's
Why should your class visit Miller's Orchards Farm Market for
the Fall Field Trip? Because we put Farm
FUN into
Education! Our farm is committed to producing
healthy, nutritious food and sharing our farming adventures with the community around us.
Only at Miller’s will you find:
§
Farm
animals in their year-round pasture not
in a “zoo-like” setting
§
Access
to 80 acres of a real-life food-producing farm and real-life farmers!
§
The
5th and 6th generation of our
family actively involved in the farm. (And don’t
forget our 4th generation Grandpa giving us a
hand!)
§
A
family farm dedicated to “giving back” to the land
and practicing sustainable agriculture methods
We think farming is FUN—and
we think your students will too after a day at
Miller’s. We offer three
different Field Trip Options (See the links on the left)
so you can
choose the best Farm day for your class. Your
students will leave with a new understanding of the
farmer’s role in our community and a better sense of
where their food comes from. We’ll provide a
farm-based lesson—designed in accordance with PA
Dept of Education standards— and/or you can
incorporate one, too, during your visit to the
farm.
We
Think Education is Seriously FUN!
