Guidelines and Etiquette 
  • Please refrain from feeding, picking up, chasing, or throwing things at the chickens, chicks, or rooster. They are friendly because we do not encourage strangers to handle them. 
  •  Do not feed the bunnies. They follow a special diet to keep them healthy. 
  •  Goats and donkeys may be fed using the animal feed available for purchase in the Country Store ($3.50). Please note they are larger animals and may accidentally nibble little fingers. 
  •  Remain seated during hayrides. 
  •  Do not climb trees. Tree limbs are more fragile than they appear and may break. 
  •  Dispose of all trash properly. Recycling bins are available—let us know if you have any questions. We’ll gladly help!

We’re so grateful to be a place where students can learn, explore, and make lasting memories. Due to high demand and our small farm's hands-on approach, we’ve updated how we manage field trips to make sure that when your group is here, our full focus is on you.
🌟 Thank you for choosing Red Apple Farm as your classroom for the day—we can’t wait to welcome you this fall! 🌟
