Spring/Summer Group Tour
WHO GREW YOUR BREAKFAST?
Join us for a hands-on morning on the farm! Harvest fresh ingredients, grind wheat, and help make pancakes straight from the farm. Discover the history of breakfast and see why farmers are so important to the meals we love.
Meet and bottle-feed baby calves, feed and pet other friendly animals, plant and water seeds to take home, and hop on a tractor wagon ride around the farm. Bring your appetite and curiosity, breakfast has never been this fun!
A day of learning, hands-on activities, and farm-fresh food awaits!
Group tours typically last about 90 minutes for the guided portion, depending on the size of your group. Be sure to plan extra time to enjoy the picnic areas and explore the farm. The Christian Way Cafe’ can provide lunch, please let us know ahead of time. Pricing varies based on group size and tax-exempt status.
ACTIVITIES
STORY TIME
At Christian Way Farm, we don’t just grow food, we grow stories. We will talk about the history of our theme food and the ingredients that farmers grow for that food. As part of the story, we look for lessons in the garden that encourage us to make positive choices in our lives.
PLANTING
Spring
We will take you into the garden and let you helpus plant seeds or plants according to the garden schedule.
Summer
We will go to the garden and either plant a late crop or begin harvesting the crops planted by our earlier visitors.
TRACTOR RIDING
Travel around the farm as we visit farm animals at another barn.
PLANT YOUR OWN SEEDS
We will help each person plant seeds (usually pumpkin or sunflower seeds) in a small container to grow in their backyard.
FEEDING THE ANIMALS
We will go to the garden and either plant a late crop or begin harvesting the crops planted by our earlier visitors.
LUNCHTIME
Picnic areas are available for your use. Visitors may bring their own food or purchase food from the Christian Way Cafe.
PLAYTIME
No trip to Christian Way Farm is complete without playtime—corn trucks, lawnmower train, hay castle (fall only), tricycle track, giant Jenga and giant Scrabble, Gaga ball, a full playground, and plenty of open space for free play – is something you can expect anytime you visit us in Hopkinsville. The corn truck will be available for children to play in like a giant sandbox. We encourage removing shoes as one steps into the corn box or your shoes will be full of corn!
There are ample areas for playing ball or other games teachers may want to do to encourage expending energy. We keep a supply of balls available for our visitors’ use. The tricycle track will be available as well as a small swing set for our youngest visitors.
There really is something to do for all ages, adults and kids alike, when you visit us!
MERIT DAYS
Rewards are more fun outside! Bring your group to Christian Way Farm & Mini Golf for playing, feeding the animals, Gaga ball, riding the lawnmower train, a scavenger hunt, or a round of mini golf. We can even serve lunch from Christian Way Cafe. Ask us about our add-on options for groups when you call.
