Bates Nut Farm

Bates Nut Farm was impressive. Next year I think the field trip should happen the first week of October. The crops initially appeared to be more of a "pumpkin wasteland." However, we were able to find some pumpkins still on the vine and lots of smashed-open pumpkins with seeds to observe. After we had a little discussion on pumpkins in the pumpkin fields, we explored more of the farm. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, a straw maze, and a tractor ride. Everyone went on the tractor ride.
