Field Trips

Farmamerica offers in-person Agriculture Evolution Field Trips designed for 2nd – 4th grade school groups. We are committed to providing fun, engaging, and educational field trips in a safe and hands-on environment. With the help of interpreters, exhibits, and unique hands-on experiences, your students will learn the rich history of Minnesota agriculture starting in the 1800s and conclude with the discovery of their personal connections to today’s agriculture.

Ag Evolution Field Trips run from 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM, with a 25-minute lunch break. We ask that students bring their own sack lunch and water bottle. 

Field trips are dependent upon our volunteer availability and may include: 

  • 1850s Homestead: Students learn how life evolved for families during their first few years in Minnesota.

  • One-Room Schoolhouse: Students compare and contrast their schooling experience with that of students from the mid-1900s. 

  • 1930s Dairy Farm: Explore the barn and experience live animals. Then, see what a home from this era looked like to contrast their current homes. 

  • Blacksmith Shop: Our blacksmith fires up the forge to demonstrate the job of a blacksmith in the mid-1900s and discuss what blacksmiths do today.

  • Ag Around You Discovery Center: Students use a scavenger hunt to explore how agriculture is part of their daily lives.
