We are going back out to Bishops pumpkin farm this time to go on a Hamburger tour. This special educational program provides a guided tour of a farm that grows all the crops needed for a hamburger. Even the farm is shaped like a hamburger!




  • Ride on the Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm Railroad to and from the Hamburger Farm site


  • Guided tour of a farm that grows all crops needed for a hamburger-


  • including hands on activities such as grinding wheat into flour


  • digging potatoes and slicing them into French fries


  • milking a “cow” to get milk for cheese.


  • In addition to information on each crop, discussion topics will include: “good” and “bad” insects; and amounts of water needed to “grow” a hamburger.


  • Self guided tour of Weeland petting zoo and the farm animals who live there


  • Play time in Farmer Bill’s Barn, the Tree House, or Coyote Mountain Mine


  • Nutritious hamburger picnic (meets school lunch requirements)
