Looking to our future while sharing the past
Offering educational school tours to pre-school and elementary age students has been a part of Center Grove Orchard's history since 1994. While school tours have evolved from being led by tour leaders to self-guided, we still believe it's important that children have opportunities to share in our passion for farm life, by learning about agriculture in a fun and beautiful setting as part of their past and looking to our future.
