Get a better understanding of how they think and how you fit into the role of being their leader. Ponied rides are available.

Academic Lessons
From the moment your students step off the school bus and onto the green pastures of Hodges Farm, they will enter a learning environment where practical and real-world situations require knowledge and skills in subjects including science, math, and economics.
Whether for homeschool, mainstream, or special education classes, your customizable academic lesson will be designed to fit your class or group's curriculum schedule and will address your grade level's state standards. Your visit can also include a combination of available activities such as facility tours, hay rides, and ponied horseback rides.
Groups of at least 5 students with accompanying adults are welcome to schedule a 2-hour, 3-hour, or 4-hour visit. Summertime hours are also available.
Just want to tour or have an event at the farm? Agritourism visits and event activities are also available to school, family, and corporate groups. Visit the Hodges Family Farm website for details.
