WHY TEACHERS CHOOSE EVELYNE'S FARM
1
Aligns With Science Standards
Your students aren't just looking at flowers.
They're learning plant life cycles, soil ecosystems, animal behavior, and sustainable agriculture through direct observation. They see decomposition in action. They watch chickens build soil health. They understand why healthy land creates healthy food.
This connects directly to elementary and middle school science standards for life science, environmental studies, and agricultural education.
2
Real Farm, Real Learning
We're not an educational park with staged displays.
Your students visit a working 128-acre regenerative farm where we actually raise animals, grow food, and build soil using nature's methods. They see the real challenges and real solutions farmers face every day.
Kids ask better questions when they're experiencing something authentic instead of artificial.
3
Age-Appropriate Programming
We don't give the same tour to everyone.
After you book, we contact you to confirm your students' ages and grade levels. Then we tailor the educational content to match what your specific class can understand and engage with.
Preschoolers get sensory experiences and simple concepts. Middle schoolers get complex systems thinking and environmental science. Your students learn at their level.
136 Varieties Your Students Won't See in Textbooks
Most kids think all daffodils are yellow.
Your students will discover that daffodils come in dozens of shapes, sizes, colors, and bloom patterns. We grow over 136 different varieties with more than 60,000 bulbs planted across our fields.
What Your Students Will Learn:
Plant Classification: Students identify different daffodil types by bloom structure - trumpets, doubles, split-coronas, and more. They learn how botanists organize plants into categories.
Color Science: Why do some daffodils have pink centers? Students explore plant pigments, genetics, and how breeders create new varieties.
Historical Agriculture: Some of our varieties date back to the 1800s. Students discover how farming families saved seeds and bulbs across generations.
Global Biodiversity: Our daffodils come from breeding programs around the world. Students learn how plants spread across continents and adapt to different climates.
Life Cycles in Action: Students see every stage - from dormant bulbs underground to emerging shoots to full blooms. They understand that plants don't just "appear" - they follow predictable patterns.
More Than Just Flowers
Cultural and Historical Significance
Daffodils connect to lessons far beyond science class.
Hope and Renewal - Religious Studies
Christians call daffodils "Lent lilies" because they emerge from frozen ground each spring. For centuries, families have decorated churches with daffodils during Easter as symbols of resurrection and new life.
Legend says daffodils appeared in the Garden of Gethsemane to comfort Jesus before his betrayal.
Cultural Traditions - Social Studies
In Wales, daffodils mark St. David's Day on March 1st. The flower has become a national symbol of Welsh pride and heritage.
Throughout the Middle East, families plant daffodils to represent new beginnings and hope.
Historical Connection - History Class
When your students pick daffodils at our farm, they're connecting to traditions that span continents and centuries. These aren't just flowers - they're living symbols of hope, faith, and renewal that families have cherished for generations.

FAQ SECTION
Quick Answers
How long should we plan for the visit?
Most groups spend 2 hours on the farm. This gives time for the educational programming, flower picking, and animal interactions without rushing.
What if it rains?
Field trips happen rain or shine. The flowers actually look more vibrant when they're wet. Just make sure students have rain boots.
Is the farm wheelchair accessible?
Main pathways can accommodate wheelchairs, but some field areas have natural terrain with slopes. Call us at (724) 201-2058 before booking if you have specific accessibility questions.
Can siblings come?
Yes. All siblings need tickets, which helps us plan for an accurate headcount.
What about parent chaperones?
Parents are welcome and encouraged. All adults need tickets too.
Do you provide lunch?
No, but you're welcome to bring picnic lunches. Some groups coordinate with local food trucks to meet at the farm.
What educational standards does this align with?
The field trip supports PA Academic Standards for Science and Environment (specifically life science, ecology, and agriculture). We can provide specific standard numbers if your administration requests them.
Can we take photos?
Absolutely. Most teachers take group photos in the daffodil fields for yearbooks or classroom displays.
What happens if we need to cancel?
Contact us as soon as possible. We understand school schedules change. No refunds, but we'll work with you to reschedule when possible.
Is there a minimum group size?
No minimum. We've hosted groups from 8 students to 50 students.
