ABOUT ABOUT

Fun hands-on learning on the farm!

One of our favorite things to do here at Flinchbaugh’s Orchard is to teach oth­ers – espe­cially chil­dren – how our foods are grown. Our won­der­ful staff love chil­dren (and adults who love to learn) and enjoy teach­ing about how our orchard and farm oper­ates. The inter­ac­tive lessons we pro­vide help teach­ers meet the edu­ca­tional objec­tives of their cur­ricu­lum in a fun and excit­ing way.

We are committed to providing an enjoyable, interactive and safe visit to our farm.  We are limiting the number of groups scheduling with us each day, to allow for social distancing among students and adults.  In addition, snack time will be set up in a manner that requires distancing as well.
