First-grade students from Tommy's Road Elementary School traded their classroom desks for open pastures on Tuesday, October 27th, embarking on an autumn educational field trip to Deans Farm Market in nearby Wilson.
The full-day field trip offered young learners a hands-on look at local agriculture and autumn harvest traditions. Led by farm educators, the first graders participated in an interactive agricultural lesson focused on how food grows and the role farms play in the local community.
Following their lesson, students took part in classic fall farm activities across the grounds. Highlights of the excursion included a scenic hayride around the farm, navigating through the farm maze, playing in the corn pit, and meeting farm animals up close.
