First-grade students from
Chets Creek Elementary recently visited Sykes and Cooper Farm in Elkton, Florida to experience some "farmtastic agritainment!"
Students explored the pumpkin patch, went on a hayride around the cornfield, got to visit a pig, donkey, goats and chickens, wandered in a six-foot-tall corn maze, jumped on a corn popper trampoline and even played on a bed of corn kernels.
The students also had a learning curriculum that provided them with information about all the different items that are made with corn.
A great time was had by all on the toasty fall day, and staff members say this will definitely be a new annual tradition!
Family owned and operated for over 50 years, Sykes and Cooper Farm offers field trips for school groups throughout the month of October. For more information, visit
