Educational Tours at Milburn Orchards

Tours available Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m., and by reservation only by calling (410)398-1349 or (800)684-3000. Please call in your reservation Mon-Fri between 9am-3pm, when our reservation specialist is on duty and can answer any further questions you may have.

Group tours will be introduced to specific information about the growth of apple trees and the importance of farm animals. If there are any concepts or ideas you would like to have mentioned, please let us know. We'll be happy to include this along with the tour. Our goal is to provide a memorable experience as well as an educational opportunity for you and your students.

Tours are $6 per person (1 teacher per class free).

Tours are different according to the season, but fall tours include:

  (apples are washed, sorted, and packaged)
• Demonstration of an apple picking bucket
• Chilling walk through our gigantic Cold Storage

• Pick out an apple and a munchkin gourd for your "Goodie" bag!
• Visit to the Barnyard Buddies
• Includes one free gallon of cider and pumpkin (if harvested) per class.
• Your group is welcome to bring bagged lunches and use our picnic areas after the tour to play in the FarmYard Playground, visit our Gift & Souvenir Barn, or simply allow extra time to browse the farm market. We also have an Ice Cream & Lunch Deck with a picnic area.

Upon arriving at our our farm, please know the number of people (including parents) you have attending and also have your payment already collected. Even if the parents do not ride the bus, please collect their admission in advance. Failure to do so may cause your group to be delayed.

Please have each child wear an identification tag which includes their name and the name of the school. Stress the importance of dressing properly. They may need to wear boots or coats, depending on the weather.

Be sure the bus driver knows how to get here. There is a map for viewing, or you can print out our "Directions" page for the drivers. Buses are required to park in the designated tour parking area, NOT the farm market parking lot.

Please share your Tour photos with us!

Remember, tours are by reservations only.
