Fieldtrip 101: Amy's Farm

If you're looking to give your kids a taste of farm life, then Amy's Farm is the place to go! Located on the border of Ontario and Chino, Amy's Farm offers tours for all ages. If you have a group of 10 or more, you can schedule a tour of your own. If it's just you and your kiddos, send them an email and ask if they have tours that you can add on to. (This is what LC and I did).

Each tour is a little different based on what they have going on at the farm, but here is a little bit of what we did. It starts off with a tour of the garden area. The farmer shows different types of food they're growing and kids get to smell different herbs that are growing in the garden. We got to meet and learn about one of their resident cows on the farm. Later in the tour, kids were able to pet her nose and get up close to say hello. We then moved on to the petting zoo where we got to meet some of their brand new baby sheep. The kids were then allowed to grab a handful of veggies (taken from their garden of course) and feed geese, a pig, a turkey or chickens. We moved on to meet some cuddly bunnies, brush a mini horse and my favorite- milk a cow!

Amy's Farm also offers fresh produce for sale and self-guided tours on Saturdays.
