Farm field trips

Come spend a morning at West Willow.

A small, hands-on farm visit for school groups, homeschool families, co-ops, and other curious learners. Meet the animals, wander the garden, see what is growing, and learn a little about where food, flowers, and useful things come from.

Meet the farm

There are a few characters around here.

Romeo usually gets the first hello. The llamas keep an eye on things, the hens stay busy, and the peacock tends to show up exactly when he feels like it.

A morning on the farm

Plenty to see. Plenty to ask about.

Every visit is a little different because the farm changes with the season. Groups stay small enough to explore, ask questions, and notice what is happening.

  • Meet the animals
  • Walk through the garden and orchard
  • Learn where eggs come from
  • Look closely at flowers, vegetables, herbs, and seeds
  • Find pollinators at work
  • Try a simple seasonal activity

Curious from a distance — until they decide you are interesting enough to investigate.

The garden wanderer

The peacock

He goes wherever he pleases and has a habit of appearing in the prettiest part of the garden.

The hens

A good place to start when talking about eggs, feathers, food, and everyday farm life.

The farm changes

Every season teaches something different.

Spring

Seedlings, blossoms, young plants, and pollinators beginning to return.

Summer

Flowers, vegetables, herbs, eggs, and a garden in full swing.

Fall

Seeds, late harvests, drying herbs, and getting the garden ready for winter.
