At Breeden's Orchard, we offer a unique and educational experience for children to explore our working apple and peach farm. Our field trips provide an inside and outside tour of the orchard.
Field trips to Breeden’s Orchard are suitable for children from Pre-K through Third Grade (approx. 5 years of age-8 years age). We do not require children to all be the same age but do ask for a general idea of the ages of children in attendance so that we can plan activities for all.
During the tour, we discuss things like the vital role bees play in pollination and the lifecycle of our orchard. Children will love walking through the orchard, observing the variety of fruit sizes and colors.
Depending on the season, they may even have the opportunity to pick their own apple or peach—a memorable experience they will cherish for years to come!
Join us for an unforgettable day of learning and fun in the heart of nature.
