SCHOOL TOURS

Special Tours for Special Folks
8765 Mulberry Location

We welcome groups who have older children, teens or adults who require wheelchair, special care or simpler explanations of our farm because of shorter attention spans and special needs.

You will have a guide to lead you to your own pavilion where you can have lunch (if you bring it). The guide will take you on a 20 minute wagon ride around the orchards where you can pick (if we are still picking) or taste a local crisp delicious apple right on the farm.  We also invite you to stay a little longer where you can  select pumpkins or visit the apple barn to shop for fall decorations. Cost is $7.00 a person for tour (no cost for staff) with a minimum of $75.00. If paying by purchase order we must have the number in advance.

Cancellations must be phoned in early morning so we can cancel our tour guide and driver.

Scheduling Tours: It is best to schedule via email: tours@pattersonfarm.com. We send a confirmation that acknowledges cost, times and date along with specific directions for the drivers once you have confirmed your arrangements with us. You may also call Kelly at 440-223-4159.

Strawberry Picking Time

Summer children’s groups can schedule a time to come to the pick your own strawberries fields at 8765 Mulberry Rd in June. The children board a wagon to travel around the farm making stops at the apple trees to see the progress of the little apples, at the maple trees to see how different those trees are that produce maple syrup, at the pond to note how important water is to farming and finally to the strawberry fields where they learn to pick strawberries and actually pick a large cup of strawberries. Back at a pavilion they can have lunch, play or simply relax a bit.

Cost: $9.00 per person who picks strawberries; minimum $100.00.
Time: 45 minutes per group of 25.
