Night Hikes at the Farm

Experience the farm after dark and discover the wonders that come alive at night! Night Hikes at the Farm invite you to explore evening landscapes through engaging, hands‑on natural science topics that change with the seasons.

Held one Friday each month from May through November, each guided hike features a unique theme inspired by the time of year—whether it’s nocturnal animals, storytelling, bats, or fireflies. These adventures are perfect for adults, families, and scout groups who love learning and a little after‑hours exploration.

Each hike includes light snacks and beverages, and participants are welcome to register for one hike or enjoy the full series.

The Night Hike program is suitable for participants 3 years old and above.

Cost: $14 per person. Registration is non-refundable.
