Strawberry Field Trips 2027

Dickey Farms hosts field trips in the spring at its strawberry patch in Musella, Georgia, for students in grades first through fifth.

Experiential Learning…And Lots Of Fun, Too!

Experiential learning is a process in which children can holistically obtain knowledge through education, then perform what they have learned through real-world application.

Dickey Farms field trips teach students about food sustainability, Georgia agriculture, harvesting and the role of farmers through impactful and formative experiences. 

Our strawberry patch provides a fun, hands-on, and scholastic experience where growing minds can learn, watch, process, do, and play!
