Tours

Animal Safety Rules

  • Be calm and walk quietly when around the animals.
  • No running! 
  • Wash hands with soap and water after leaving the barn. 
  • Avoid hand-mouth activity near animals: no eating, drinking, pacifiers, smoking, etc.
Remember that with simple precautions, a farm visit is an enjoyable, meaningful and safe experience for young and old.
Tours are hands-on experiences primarily for elementary students. Other special tours can be arranged, such as tours for special needs children and seniors. The 18th Century living history experiences can be combined with the activities below or brought to your school.

Woosley Farm is a private residence owned and operated by Wayne, Riely and J'nie Woosley.
 
 
School Tours
Our space is limited when sharing animals and taking a hayride, so please keep groups to no more than 65 children. Fewer children in a group allows more time with animals and more individual attention from us. We stop farming activities when tours are requested so we need 2-3 days' notice to put away equipment and prepare for your visit.
 
A suggested group size of 40 students allows us to work together with the presentation, providing a more relaxed and informative time for you at the farm. For groups of 41-65, everything is still covered in the same period of time, but the group is split in half. The hayride will not hold more than thirty-five to forty people at a time.
 
Presentations can be in 18th century period dress if desired. Living history tour components can be substituted in this tour.
See a detailed 4th and 5th grade tour breakdown for additional information about how we incorporate the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.
