What: Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Limoneira Ranch sponsored by the Rotary Club of Santa Paula.

History abounds at Limoneira Ranch, a farming operation established in 1893 with barns, outbuildings and farm equipment for everyone to enjoy.  Spend an extraordinary day in the country experience the joy and laughter which naturally occurs during a visit to the Pumpkin Patch.

• Learn how a pumpkin grows
• Story time in the shade
• Pick your very own sugar pumpkin to take home
• Play on the Hay Pyramid
• Go on a Hayride
• Visit the FFA Petting Zoo (last time we went on this field trip, there were goats, sheep, cows, ducks, and chicks to pet!)
• Bring a picnic lunch or snack to eat in the picnic area, but it closes by noon, so you would need to be done before that time.
• Play in the Hay Maze

Who: ACHEV members, all ages

When: Tour starts at 9:30, please arrive no later than 9:15 so that I can collect, count cash, and pay before the tour starts.   We need to pay with one payment and all go in together.   If you are bringing a picnic lunch, we will also be getting those out ahead of time and putting them on a picnic bench where we may eat later.

How Much: $8 per person, students & adults.  Please bring cash. Children 2 and under are free, but will not receive a pumpkin.  Students will get to choose a sugar pie pumpkin included in the field trip fee.  Adults, even though required to pay, will not receive a pumpkin included in the fee.  Remember that these fees help to support the non-profit organization Santa Paula Rotary Club.

If you would prefer, you can send me payment via Zelle using my email address: bonnieadair@verizon.net

A variety of pumpkins and gourds will be available for purchase after the field trip.  You can pay for those with cash or card.  You need to be done shopping for pumpkins by noon when they close.

What to Bring: 

• Water: There is no drinking water on site, so make sure to bring enough with you
• Lunch or snack if you wish to eat after the tour
• Hats, sunscreen
