Become a Farm Tour Guide - farm animals and education garden

Farm Tour Guides give life to Hidden Villa's Environmental Education Program, leading groups of school children on tours of our organic farm and gardens. Farm Tours give preschool through 1st grade students a chance to taste the plants that we grow in our organic garden and meet our farm animals face to face. Tours are 75 minutes each and group size is generally 10 - 12 children per guide.
