School & Group Visits
Hilltop Hanover Farm & Environmental Center offers guided tours for schools, homeschool co-ops, scout organizations, camps, private visits and events, and other groups or organizations. Please review our tour descriptions and pricing before completing the below Group Visit Request Form. All groups will need to make a reservation to visit the farm. Because of the seasonal changes we experience here at the farm, we recommend groups book two visits a year to experience the farm in a new light!
We welcome groups of all sizes, ages, and abilities. If you have any questions, please contact us at (914) 862-5006 or email education@hilltophanoverfarm.org.
If you would like your group to visit the farm but this poses a financial challenge for you or your organization, please contact us and we will be in touch.
Current Tour Offerings
-
See various farm animals, smell earthy compost, feel soil passing through your fingers, and taste your way through the crop fields and greenhouses as our farmers guide you through our growing practices using all 5 senses. Fantastic for tactile learners or first-time visitors to a farm!
-
As community members of a local and global ecosystem, participants learn about the pillars of sustainability on the farm, covering social, environmental, and economic implications and how they intersect in our farming practices. Great for older groups or as an introductory topic for little ones!
-
The health of the ecosystem surrounding a farm is just as important as the health of the crop fields themselves. Participants venture in our crop fields and hike the trails while learning about the flora and fauna of our farm and forests. Suggested for ages 8+.
-
Experience food from source to belly as we take you around the farm and harvest ingredients together to prepare a seasonal meal in our farm kitchen. Can be modified for any age or duration. Maximum of 25 participants per group.
