Planning Your Field Trip
When planning your field trip to Howell's please keep in mind that it is best for everyones enjoyment to limit your time on the farm to 3-4 hours. Experience has taught us that this is the perfect amount of time to enjoy all of our attractions!
You are welcome to bring your own sack lunches and snacks, we have concessions available onsite but do not provide snacks or lunches to field trips.
Go Goats, Go!
Unable to make a trip out to the farm this summer but still want to experience a little piece of farm life? Look into our Go- Goats-Go program. We can bring our goats to you!
