How Our Agricultural Education Sessions Increase the Understanding
of Your World
Experience farming first-hand from the fourth generation of
farmers in the Johnson family. See what it takes to plant,
nurture, harvest and enjoy Burlington County's finest fruits
and vegetables. The Johnson farm offers an array of agricultural
education sessions throughout the year. Spring gets off to
a fun start with their Spring Egg Hunt Hayride, where students
can test their motor skills. Next is the Down and Dirty, Great
and Grungy Greenhouse educational session. Along with the
hayride, the students return to the greenhouse classroom to
plant seeds and learn how to care for them. Strawberry-picking
season is a favorite activity for students and teachers alike.
Summertime brings the harvest of New Jersey's famous sweet
corn and peaches. The peach and corn-picking summer educational
session runs through July and August, making this the perfect
hands-on educational experience for summer schools and camps.
Begin your school year with their Picking Hayride to the Apple
Orchards. The orchards provide a great classroom for understanding
the production and culture of this very important fruit. Come
fall, what could be more fun and educational than the Pumpkin
Picking session? Sunflowers abound to enhance this popular
visit on the farm. November offers their Peanut, Popcorn and
Cotton Picking educational session. After the hayride, where
the students will experience corn shelling and cider pressing,
they also have an opportunity to taste pasteurized cider.
Johnson Farm ends the year on a festive note with their Holiday
Swag Making session during December. Experience the fun of
taking a winter hayride to learn about different evergreens.
Back inside the heated greenhouse, the students learn about
decorating with evergreens while creating their own swag.
The greens are tied up with a red velvet bow to take home
for the student's special person.
