Gallmeyer Farms does not charge a “booking fee” for farm visits.

The Field Trip Participant fee is a per person/child fee. This is a convenience fee that allows the group leader to collect from, and make one payment for all who are participating. Please see Group visits to The Berry Patch or Group visits to the Pumpkin Patch to see what is included in the Field Trip Participant fee.

Gallmeyer Farms doesn’t charge a birthday party rental fee. Anyone is welcome to have a birthday party at the farm. However, if your intention is to give the farm experience to your party attendees as a party favor, we view this as a Birthday Party Field Trip. Please read on to determine whether or not you would like to have a Birthday Party Field Trip.

If a staff member or chaperone does NOT CHOOSE to participate in pick your own strawberries or pick your own pumpkin, they are welcome to participate in all other group activities for FREE.

Some staff members or chaperones may choose to “go it alone” in the field or choose Gallmeyer Farms pre-picked strawberries or pre-picked pumpkins. There is a base charge per pound for these items. The Field Trip Participant fee does not apply to staff members who want to purchase items in this manner.

Gallmeyer Farms has a FREE hayride, play area and picnic area that are open to our field trips at The Pumpkin Patch. We also have a corn hole game, swing set, etc. In addition, we have an educational presentation on the growth process of the pumpkin plant, from seed to soil contact through the relationship with the honeybee and ending with how we benefit from their relationship. (Must be requested on site even if it was previously requested at the time of booking.)

We always have an assortment of fresh and tasty, locally grown Gallmeyer Farms produce available, as well as our Gallmeyer Farms 100% PURE, LOCAL, RAW HONEY collected from our very own hives!
