The 20 minute hayride is optional in our custom made, fully enclosed trailer that maximizes both safety and visibility. We cross the Old Hodgenville/Etown Road (Hwy. 210) and travel along the grass waterways that wind through the soybean fields to the “back forty” of the farm. We often see a neighboring herd of cattle at the bottom of “roller coaster” hill as well as native fauna such as hawks, deer, turtles, turkeys and ducks.

As an added bonus, all field trips now include the barrel train ride that are sure to keep the kids giggling, smiling and making farm animal noises. Students are shuttled in our custom made barrel train cars that are crafted to look like farm animals and are pulled with a garden tractor.
Students on Crawford Farms field trips will learn about Agri-Tourism, Animal Care, Nature and the Environment, and of course pumpkins. To maximize the experience, students are kept in small class size groups as they rotate through attractions following the general welcome. Sack lunches brought from school or home can be eaten in our barn at assigned times or if scheduled in advance, hot dog meal deals can be served by Crawford Farms staff at the assigned lunch rotation on the schedule.
*It is the teacher's responsibility to determine an accurate estimate of students, staff, parents and siblings that will attend and provide this information at least three days prior to field trip. Also, teachers are asked to bring plastic grocery sacks with kids names already printed on them to facilitate the pumpkin picking station. Any additional produce or other products from the Barnyard Marketplace may be purchased directly from a Crawford Farms associate while visiting the farm.

* The chaperone fee of $5 and $8 sibling fee is to be paid on site. Siblings will receive the same type of field trip pumpkin, gourd and animal feed. If able to ride on their own, the barrel train ride too is included. To provide the maximum amount of social distancing possible on the hayrides, only students and staff may be permitted to ride. Please relay to parents and chaperones of this policy if your school allows them to attend the field field. Sales tax will be added to schools or institutions not qualifying for tax exempt status. A tax exempt form provided by eligible schools is required to avoid 6% sales tax.
