Student Tours for Young Students
In 2002, Prospect Hill Orchards broadened its retail marketing by hosting tour groups on weekdays during apple season. We began with the focus on schools, offering a unique program that resulted in a positive orchard experience:

School Groups visiting the orchard will receive:

• A hayride
• A seasonal story and hands on activity
• 1/2 peck of apples and a pumpkin picked by the children
• Special theme programs at an additional charge
  • Johnny Appleseed
  • Cider Pressing
  • Sweet Honey Bees
  • Orchard Ecology

We can accommodate up to 4 busloads of children at one time, but we prefer to have classes arrive one or two at a time. Large groups of students require the addition of one or more theme programs, so the groups are small enough for everyone to have a good experience.

If you have a student in your family from preschool to middle school age who would like to visit the farm, we would be pleased to host their class. Contact Judy Clarke at 845-795-2383 for more information, scheduling and fees.
