Hosting your next school tour is our speciality! We have hosted hundreds of schools from all over New England with various themes. There is no group that is too large or too small. Each year, more than five thousand school children visit our farm and walk away with their own positive memories. Our tour guides all have years of experience teaching children of all ages and abilities. We look forward to booking your next fall school trip.
Here at DeMeritt Hill Farm we offer fall school tours. Every tour we give is a personalized age appropriate guided tour. Each school tour includes the following:

"The kids loved the wagon ride especially when they saw the horses on the way into the orchard. The apple picking was great and the dwarf trees made it easy for the smaller children to reach and pick their own apples. We all enjoyed eating lunch after, playing on the playground and seeing the animals. Thanks for a great day!"

"Ashley and Brenda and our friends from Clipper Harbour visited your farm today. Wow what an experience we all had today. The kindness and hospitality of the people who work here was just so pleasant. The joy this brought my residents was overwhelming and there is nothing we werent happy with. Thank you for everything you shared and did for us. They think your farm was beautiful and very peaceful and loved every second of our visit. We will definitely be back again even with our own families." So much thanks!

The Works After School
In addition to hosting school tours, our orchard is used for many other parties/events. If you are looking for an unusual place to have your child's birthday party please consider our orchard. We have birthday packages for everyones needs so give us a call for all the details. And please allow two weeks notice.
We also host corporate group parties and tours for seniors and physically challenged groups. Our store is wheelchair accessible and if notified in advance, makes every effort to accommodate special needs. Our nature trails are a big hit with the scouting community and used for earning badges. So please think of us not only for your apple needs but also for a fun family day at the orchard.
