We welcome our homeschoolers to enjoy a day on the farm!  

 

Offering educational field trips to pre-school and elementary age students is a priority for us at Donnell Farm.  We believe it's important that the heritage and dynamics of agriculture is something that all children have the chance to be exposed to.  It just so happens that we are able to help accomplish that goal in a fun and unique way.  We invite you to bring your students to come get lost in our classroom in the corn!

 

When is homeschool day?

We will announce our date for Homeschool Day soon, keep your eye on our website and our social media platforms!

Sept 30, Oct 6, 2021.
