Pumpkin Picking 2016


On Wednesday, September 28th, the Kindergarten class went on a pumpkin picking field trip.  
We went to Ingaldsby Farm in Boxford where the children were able to enjoy looking at the different crops of fruits and vegetables that the farm grows.
First, the children enjoyed a yummy cider donut and delicious apple cider.

Next, the children were able to play in the playground and enjoy the animals.  The sheeps were very entertaining!

Next, we went on our hayride!  We saw a corn field, the pumpkin patch, and where the eggplants, beets, radishes, chili's and peppers grow.  The farmer shared a lot of interesting facts on the hayride about different types of pumpkins, apples, and various root vegetables.

After a short stop at the pasture to see the cows, we went off to pumpkin picking!

The pumpkins were still on the vine and the children were taught to twist the pumpkins off of the vine!  It was very cool to see the vines and tendrils.

It was a great day at the farm picking pumpkins!  Another successful trip to Ingaldsby!

A huge THANK YOU to the PTO for organizing this wonderful trip!
