Field Trips
Bring your kids to the farm for a fun and educational experience! See why we have schools from Burnet to Houston have their field trips at Sweet Eats Fruit Farm!
Students will learn about many things around the farm including the petting zoo animals! The information will depend on the season and selection available. The educational time (Not Available During June, July, August) will last roughly 15 minuites. The rest of the time you’ll be able to enjoy all the farm has to offer.
We will personally tailor each experience (content and/or length) to meet the needs and the desires of your students. Ex: If you are studying the life cycle of a plant, we can work that information into our presentation.
