School Tours:

    At Stotlers' Orchard, school tours have proven to be a lot of fun for both teachers and students alike!  Our school tours are open to children ages K-2 attending school in a private, public, or home-school setting.  The tour includes a 25-minute hayride through our 30-acre orchard.  students will see how apples are picked, sorted, and stored on our apple farm.  The orchard experience lasts approximately 2 hours.

The Tour Includes:

• Ride on our pedal tractor track.  Our pedal tractors are tiny replicas of old-fashioned tractors, some of which are used on our orchard!

• Participate in the "STRAW CRAWL" and go down the big slide!
