Before you head out to the farm for your field trip, we want to give you a few Farm Rules so that you can have a fun and safe day at Manna Fields. Please print these out and go over them with your class before you get to the farm.

1. Our doggies are going to greet you; they love kids! We would never keep a dog that would bite. If you don’t want the dogs to touch you, put your hands in the air and say “No Daisy!” She will move on to someone else that is not paying attention.

2. Speaking of dogs, do not leave your lunch unattended. Make sure there is a lid on your box, and when you get ready to eat, you can wash your hands at the Handwashing Station.

3. When you’re on the Hay Ride and Cow Train, stay seated at all times.

4. Obey all Jumping Pilow rules: take your shoes off before getting on, no flipping whatsoever.

5. Obey all Corn Maze rules.

• Stay on the pathways
• No picking or throwing corn
• No running
• No littering
• No inappropriate language
• No drugs or alcohol
• Absolutely no smoking!
• And remember…have fun!

6. Stay out of tall grass. As always whether you are at home, at school or at a park, you should watch out for snakes. If you do see a snake, do not touch it. Run and tell an adult.

7. When you’re in the Corn Box, the corn needs to stay in the Corn Box. It is not feed for the animals.

8. Do not put your hands or fingers in the cages, pins, or mouths of the animals. They are farm animals not pets. They will think your fingers are carrots.

Note: We know the wind blows here on the farm and it can be difficult to keep sandwich bagggies and juice straw wrappers from blowing away; but please take a minute with your class to talk about the importance of good stewardship and protecting the environment by putting trash in the garbage cans.
