First grade visits Joe Huber’s Farm
On October 13, the first grade class took a field trip to Joe Huber’s Family Farm & Restaurant. A tour guide provided an Educational tractor and wagon ride through the pasture of farm animals and around the farm. The students learned the history and many interesting facts about the family, the farm, and the restaurant.
While on the farm the students also enjoyed playing on a giant slide, searching their way through a corn maze, petting some of the farm animals, and receiving apples from the apple orchard.
