School Field Trips

Fresh Air = Fresh Kids!

You’ll enjoy our one hour Field Trip at Minnetonka Orchards!  When you arrive we’ll lead you to our outdoor orchard seating and to an experienced guide who will talk, sing, and interact with your little helpers about the orchard, how it got started, what it takes to grow apples, and the job of our bees and beekeeper.

 

 

Then we take a little stroll up the hill to observe the different types of apples, our grading barn and discuss how the apples are washed, sorted and graded. We also show an 1800’s vintage cider press and talk about how cider is made. 

Your group will then board the hay wagons and take a fun hayride through the orchard.  We wind up near the Northwoods play area, where there are restrooms, picnic areas, as well as our Petting Barn, Corn Crib Fort, Giant Train, and Hay Mountain.
