Farm Tours: School & Group
Schools, Day Cards, Scout Troops, Summer Camp groups and Senior group tours on the farm. Tours begin in March and continue through November, when the farm closes for the season. Enjoy these tours for groups of all sizes and all ages.

Through the Education Program at Maybury Farm, school children have the opportunity of learning about farming, the importance of animals in our lives, dairy, soil and how it affects us and why we should be good to it and the list goes on. If you are a teacher, parent on the PTA, pre-school teacher, or own a day care, these tours are ideal for your students. Teachers have commented on how very informative the Tours are for all ages - including the chaperones. If you are interested in booking a tour, please contact us at (248) 374-0200. The earlier, the better as our slots fill rapidly.
