Texas Homeschool Co-Ops: Here’s How Delve Helps You Book Farm Field Trips That Fit Your Group

About Delve

📍 Organizing Field Trips? Here’s How Delve Can Help.

Delve makes it easy for homeschool co-ops across Texas to book real farm experiences—whether you want to plan a private visit for your group or join a pre-scheduled trip with other homeschool families. If you're already coordinating outings, we can help streamline the process and connect you with trusted, educational hosts.

Even if we don’t have listings in your area yet, we may be able to find something for you. Here's how it works:

🛠 Option 1: Book a Private Farm Experience for Your Group

If you're looking for a farm visit just for your co-op, pod, or homeschool group, Delve offers private booking options that put you in control. You can:

  1. Choose the date that fits your schedule
  2. Bring only your group—no outside families
  3. Focus the experience around your students’ age range or learning goals
  4. Explore hands-on topics like animals, food systems, pollinators, composting, and more

Some experiences are build specifically to align with TEKS curriculum standards. Others are more open-ended, designed to spark curiosity and connection.

🗓 Option 2: Join a Scheduled Experience

Delve is also the official farm booking partner for FieldTripFridays, a trusted homeschool network offering scheduled field trips across the DFW region and beyond.

Through these experiences, you can:

  1. Join public field trips that are already planned
  2. Easily book your spot with instant checkout
  3. Attend with your family or small group
  4. Connect with other homeschoolers in your area

These are a great option for families looking to plug into broader homeschool networks without having to organize the event themselves.

🗓️ Many of our FieldTripFridays events are available for instant booking—just browse our listings to find one near you.
