When live animals aren’t allowed on campus, students can still explore farm life indoors with lifelike farm-animal figures, teaching displays, and hands-on activities.

Both formats are led by a Farmer Instructor. The standard two-hour visit can include multiple class groups, with rotations planned for your students.
