Our farm visit this year is to Pleasant Hill Farm, www.pleasanthillfarmva.com. After approximately an hour and a half visit we will leave this farm and visit a second small pumpkin farm that is only 4 miles away; Wilevington Farm. After our snack and singing time parents are free to meander on over to the pumpkin farm.
Directions for both farms are given below.
The date is on Thursday October 6th. The rain date is Wednesday October 12th. There will be no Lunch Bunch on Thursday October 6th, unless we have rain.
To find out if the trip has been cancelled due to rain you can call the Preschool phone to hear the message or check our web page; www.wcpreschool.weebly.com site.
We plan to be at the farm at 9:45. If you feel the need to follow someone to the farm our teachers will be leaving the church building at 9:00 sharp. Please let us know if you would like to follow us. We greatly encourage carpooling to the farm if possible.
All children should dress for the weather of the day, wear close toed shoes and bring their normal snack for a snack time at the farm. Parents may want to bring a snack as well. We will have a hand-washing station available. The potty is located up at the house which is a short walk.
This year’s event is very different from our previous farm trips. It is a simpler visit with beautiful mountain views in the background. It will be the perfect time to relax, visit with others and take pictures.
Parents should take note that this is a working farm and there are electric fences on this farm. Those fences are many yards awayfrom where our students will be visiting. Please pay attention to the location of those fences and monitor your child. At no time should a child chase a farm animal, this farm is a working farm and not a petting farm.
Directions from the Carousel Ice Cream/ Foster’s Grill intersection in Warrenton:
Take a right onto 211 west, go approx. 8 miles to the Shell station and a traffic light.
Take a left onto 299, go approx. 8 miles to the Maw&Paws/ Post Office/ Methodist church.
Take a right onto 640/ Monumental Mills Rd. go .07 miles (Take note of this right hand turn. You can see the farmhouse off in the distance, it’s a big white house. Circa 1800.)
Pleasant Hills Rd will be on your left with stone pillars at the entrance to the drive. Watch for a WCP sign to help you on your way.
Directions to the pumpkin patch from Pleasant Hills.
Take a left onto 640/ Monumental Mills.
Travel approx. 4 miles, follow the pumpkins along the way.
Wilevington Farm will be on your left and well-marked for pumpkins.
Wilevington Farm is run by retired folks who like to help educate children. Pumpkins are available for sale but the owners want me to tell you - PLEASE do not feel obligated to purchase.
As always please let me know if you have any questions.
A prayer or two regarding the safety and success of our field trip is greatly appreciated.
Blessings to all,
