School Programs

Bring academic content to life!

Students engage hands-on in our 626-acre outdoor classroom, encompassing livestock barns, fruit and vegetable plots, pastures, year-round greenhouses, forests, educational gardens, and rocky shoreline. Programs change with the season and with what’s happening on the farm.

A trip to Wolfe’s Neck Center isn’t your average field trip. We will take your students out of the classroom to get up close and in depth on our working coastal farm. We specialize in immersive and hands-on outdoor education around farming and food for a learning experience your students won’t forget. 

Field trips are offered on Tuesday through Friday depending on availability. We have a variety of programs and themes for different ages of students. While we have age and program recommendations, we are happy to work with schools to customize your experience when possible, so it fits your classes needs!

 

 

Wolfe's Neck 'Farm to Classroom' Programs

In 2025, we are happy to offer Wolfe’s Neck ‘Farm to Classroom’ Programs. Our staff will head to your classroom and bring hands-on farm education experience within the walls of your school.  

At this time, we are only offering programs for elementary and preschool ages.

Field Trips FAQ

Can parents/guardians attend with their children?

Due to parking and space restrictions, attendance for parents/guardians is limited.

What if it rains?

Our field trips take place rain or shine! Please make sure students come dressed for the weather.

What should we wear?

Students, teachers, and chaperones should all wear clothes to be outside, whatever the season. Field trips rarely go inside any buildings but our unheated barns. It’s also a good idea to wear layers, boots or sneakers you wouldn’t mind getting mud, or a bit of manure on (It is a farm, after all!).

Can we have lunch on campus?

You are more than welcome to eat your lunch here on the farm. We cannot guarantee a covered space, but we have lots of picnic tables and benches around the property. We do ask for groups to pack out all their trash. Fridge space is unfortunately not available.
