Plan a visit to Moon Dog Farms...

We believe giving folks the opportunity to connect with agriculture strengthens their understanding of the food system, their responsibility to this earth, & our human relationship with nature.

We hope to open doors to future generations of citizens who care about farming and food by offering tours and field trips at Moon Dog Farms. Oh, and we want to have lots of fun.

We take every opportunity to teach about the life cycle of the plants on a farm. Not every plant looks or behaves like you might think--this radish had gone to flower!

Harvesting carrots for the first time is magical!

We teach kids about the realities of farming as well, including how to wash potatoes to take to the farmers' market.

How to schedule your visit...

Whether you are a neighbor, new customer or complete stranger, we welcome you to the farm for a scheduled farm tour or during one of our volunteer days.

VOLUNTEER DAYS

Throughout the year, we will holler out with a need for many hands to accomplish a certain task. Often, it's weeding. Sometimes, we have one big project that needs a little boost from outside help. If you'd like to be aware of these Volunteer Days, subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on facebook.

ORGANIZED TOURS & FARM VISITS

If you'd like to plan a visit for your school/organization/club/large group of friends, email Casey at [email protected] with the following information:

name of school/group
number of visitors and age range
proposed visit date and time
basic objective of visit
any other pertinent details about your group needing special attention

After we've received your email, Casey will contact you for further information and discuss specifics of scheduling. All visitors--both adults and children--are required to sign a liability waiver before visiting the farm.

Due to our intense summers, field trips are best planned September--May.

For privacy reasons, we do not publish our address on our website. When you've scheduled a farm visit or become aware of an advertised Volunteer Day, we share our address directly with those involved.
