Please read what some Teachers have said about our Tours!

"Thank you so much for the awesome opportunity of allowing us to visit the farm. The children had such a wonderful time! I truly appreciate your kindness and patience as we scheduled this trip. I only heard absolutely wonderful things from the parents and teachers. Everything is so organized and those strawberries are excellent! Take care and I hope that you have a wonderful and prosperous year." - Khalilah Badger, Fuller Elementary

"Good Morning! I wanted to write and thank you and your staff for making our trip to Vollmer Farm soooooooo fun and enjoyable! Every person that we dealt with was kind and fun! Our classes loved making the butter! I think we will do that for our Thanksgiving Feast in our class!" -Evelyn Moses, Raleigh Christian Academy

"I just wanted to thank you all. The children, parents and I had a wonderful time at the farm on Tuesday. We will be back next year!" - Tammy Hartman, Chesterbrook Elementary

"Many thanks to you and your staff for another fun filled day at the farm. I had many parents and children who had never been to your farm and after our trip I think you may have some return visitors. God gave us a beautiful day and you helped us have lots of fun together. We hope to see you in the spring for Strawberries!  Many thanks." - Lori Griffin, Faith Christian School
