Learn more with your fall fun this year! Join DFW Homeschoolers #FieldTripFridays for a package deal of fall-agriculture curriculum to use at home in October, culminating in a Pumpkin Patch field trip at Blase Family Farm in Rockwall. *All visitors to the pumpkin patch ages 2+ must have a ticket, including adults*
Go Beyond the Patch: Exclusive Fall Ag Curriculum at Home
With the $13 ticket price for all pumpkin patch attendees, you will receive a curated toolbox of resources in October to kick off the month. This resource kit will include activities and educational resources for all ages on topics such as:
- where pumpkins came from
- where and how pumpkins grow

- what happens to them after the holidays
- what other types of crops we grow in the fall
- pumpkin recipes you can make together
- a pumpkin art project
This curriculum has been curated by Delve Experiences, which works with local farms across Texas to offer educational experiences.
You will also be invited to 2 options for webinars where your learners can discuss these topics with others with structured facilitation. These webinars will be facilitated by Kristin Song, a former educator and founder of Delve Experiences, and a local mom who loves teaching.
Real Life Fun with Friends
Then on October 23, beginning at 2:30, your family can join other DFW Homeschoolers #FieldTripFridays friends in real life at the pumpkin patch. The Blase Family Farm has been a staple of fall fun in North Texas since 2011.
